I'll add the following caveat: Note that if the store failures are recurring (for e.g if the pages are incompressible), users can observe reclaim inefficiency after disabling writeback (because the same pages might be rejected again and again). to the zswap documentation and the cgroup documentation then? I'll repeat this caveat in both places for self-containment purposes.
