    Description:
    		The disksize file is read-write and specifies the disk size
    		which represents the limit on the *uncompressed* worth of data
    		that can be stored in this disk.

    Description:
    		The notify_free file is read-only and specifies the number of
    		swap slot free notifications received by this device. These

    		notifications are sent to a swap block device when a swap slot
    
    		is freed. This statistic is applicable only when this disk is
    		being used as a swap disk.
    
    What:		/sys/block/zram<id>/discard
    Date:		August 2010
    Contact:	Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
    Description:
    		The discard file is read-only and specifies the number of
    		discard requests received by this device. These requests
    		provide information to block device regarding blocks which are
    		no longer used by filesystem.
    
    What:		/sys/block/zram<id>/zero_pages
    Date:		August 2010
    Contact:	Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
    Description:
    		The zero_pages file is read-only and specifies number of zero
    		filled pages written to this disk. No memory is allocated for
    		such pages.
    
    What:		/sys/block/zram<id>/orig_data_size
    Date:		August 2010
    Contact:	Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
    Description:
    		The orig_data_size file is read-only and specifies uncompressed
    		size of data stored in this disk. This excludes zero-filled
    		pages (zero_pages) since no memory is allocated for them.
    		Unit: bytes
    
    What:		/sys/block/zram<id>/compr_data_size
    Date:		August 2010
    Contact:	Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
    Description:
    		The compr_data_size file is read-only and specifies compressed
    		size of data stored in this disk. So, compression ratio can be
    		calculated using orig_data_size and this statistic.
    		Unit: bytes
    
    What:		/sys/block/zram<id>/mem_used_total
    Date:		August 2010
    Contact:	Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
    Description:
    		The mem_used_total file is read-only and specifies the amount
    		of memory, including allocator fragmentation and metadata
    		overhead, allocated for this disk. So, allocator space
    		efficiency can be calculated using compr_data_size and this
    		statistic.
