Oh, it's my mistaken. When commit 9b9913d80b2896ecd9e0a1a8f167ccad66fac79c (Staging: zram: Update zram documentation) and commit e98419c23b1a189c932775f7833e94cb5230a16b (Staging: zram: Document sysfs entries) description related to 'discard' stat was designed and added to zram.txt and sysfs-block-zram, but without implementation of function for handling discard request, description in documents were removed in commit 8dd1d3247e6c00b50ef83934ea8b22a1590015de (zram: document failed_reads, failed_writes stats) For now, we have already supported discard handling, so it's better to resume the stat of discard number, this discard stat supports user one more kind of runtime information of zram as other stats supported.
