Hi David,the charged memory will be released in swap->zram. New pages
are allocated by alloc_zspage(), and we did not charge the page directly,but
the objects(like  slab), because the zspage are shared by any memcg.

Yes, the pagecaches are charged in fs->zram, but  will be released if
we drop the cache. the compressed objects are not charged.
