[PATCHv6 2/6] zram: add writeback batch size device attr
Posted by Sergey Senozhatsky 1 week, 2 days ago 
Introduce writeback_batch_size device attribute so that
the maximum number of in-flight writeback bio requests
can be configured at run-time per-device.  This essentially
enables batched bio writeback.
