zswap will try to shrink pool when zswap is full. This commit add shrink_enabled that can disable swap shrink to increase store performance. User can disable swap shrink if care about the store performance. For example in a VM with 1 CPU 1G memory 4G swap: echo lz4 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor echo z3fold > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/zpool echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/same_filled_pages_enabled echo 1 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled usemem -a -n 1 $((4000 * 1024 * 1024)) 4718592000 bytes / 114937822 usecs = 40091 KB/s 101700 usecs to free memory echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/shrink_enabled usemem -a -n 1 $((4000 * 1024 * 1024)) 4718592000 bytes / 8837320 usecs = 521425 KB/s 129577 usecs to free memory The store speed increased when zswap shrink disabled.
