Depending on device usage + scenario it may account a) the number of pages freed because + of swap slot free notifications or b) the number of pages freed + because of REQ_DISCARD requests sent by bio. The former ones + are sent to a swap block device when a swap slot is freed, which + implies that this disk is being used as a swap disk. The latter + ones are sent by filesystem mounted with discard option, + whenever some data blocks are getting discarded. + Now accessible via zram<id>/io_stat node. + +What: /sys/block/zram<id>/zero_pages +Date: August 2015 +Contact: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> +Description: + The zero_pages file is read-only and specifies number of zero + filled pages written to this disk.
