From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@xxxxxxxx>
acomp's users might want to know if acomp is really async to
optimize themselves. One typical user which can benefit from
exposed async stat is zswap.
In zswap, zsmalloc is the most commonly used allocator for
(and perhaps the only one). For zsmalloc, we cannot sleep
while we map the compressed memory, so we copy it to a
temporary buffer. By knowing the alg won't sleep can help
zswap to avoid the need for a buffer. This shows noticeable
improvement in load/store latency of zswap.
