The patch titled
Subject: zram: make compact a read-write sysfs node
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
zram-make-compact-a-read-write-sysfs-node.patch
This patch was dropped because it was nacked

Subject: zram: make compact a read-write sysfs node
Change zram's `compact' sysfs node to be a read-write attribute. Write
triggers zsmalloc compaction, just as before, read returns the number of
pages that zsmalloc can potentially compact.
User space now has a chance to estimate possible compaction memory
savings and avoid unnecessary compactions.
Example:
if [ `cat /sys/block/zram<id>/compact` -gt 10 ]; then
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram<id>/compact;
fi

Description:
- The compact file is write-only and trigger compaction for
- allocator zrm uses. The allocator moves some objects so that
- it could free fragment space.
+ The compact file is read/write. Write triggers underlying
+ allocator's memory compaction, which may result in memory
+ savings. Read returns the number of pages that compaction
+ can potentially (but not guaranteed to) free.
