Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Rename ramzswap to zram in documentation
Related changes:
- Included example to show usage as generic
(non-swap) disk with ext4 filesystem.
- Renamed rzscontrol to zramconfig to match
with new device naming.

-ramzswap: Compressed RAM based swap device
--------------------------------------------
-
-Project home: http://compcache.googlecode.com/
-
-* Introduction
-
-The ramzswap module creates RAM based block devices which can (only) be used as
-swap disks. Pages swapped to these devices are compressed and stored in memory
-itself. See project home for use cases, performance numbers and a lot more.
-
-Individual ramzswap devices are configured and initialized using rzscontrol
-userspace utility as shown in examples below. See rzscontrol man page for more
-details.
-
-* Usage
-
-Following shows a typical sequence of steps for using ramzswap.
-
-1) Load Modules:
- modprobe ramzswap num_devices=4
- This creates 4 (uninitialized) devices: /dev/ramzswap{0,1,2,3}
- (num_devices parameter is optional. Default: 1)
-
-2) Initialize:
- Use rzscontrol utility to configure and initialize individual
- ramzswap devices. Example:
- rzscontrol /dev/ramzswap2 --init # uses default value of disksize_kb
-
- *See rzscontrol man page for more details and examples*
-
-3) Activate:
- swapon /dev/ramzswap2 # or any other initialized ramzswap device
-
-4) Stats:
- rzscontrol /dev/ramzswap2 --stats
-
-5) Deactivate:
- swapoff /dev/ramzswap2
-
-6) Reset:
- rzscontrol /dev/ramzswap2 --reset
- (This frees all the memory allocated for this device).

+zram: Compressed RAM based block devices
+----------------------------------------
+
+Project home: http://compcache.googlecode.com/
+
+* Introduction
+
+The zram module creates RAM based block devices: /dev/ramX (X = 0, 1, ...).
+Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored in memory itself.
+These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides good amounts of
+memory savings.
+
+See project home for use cases, performance numbers and a lot more.
+
+Individual zram devices are configured and initialized using zramconfig
+userspace utility as shown in examples below. See zramconfig man page for
+more details.
+
+* Usage
+
+Following shows a typical sequence of steps for using zram.
+
+1) Load Modules:
+ modprobe zram num_devices=4
+ This creates 4 (uninitialized) devices: /dev/zram{0,1,2,3}
+ (num_devices parameter is optional. Default: 1)
+
+2) Initialize:
+ Use zramconfig utility to configure and initialize individual
+ zram devices. For example:
+ zramconfig /dev/zram0 --init # uses default value of disksize_kb
+ zramconfig /dev/zram1 --disksize_kb=102400 # 100MB /dev/zram1
+
+ *See zramconfig man page for more details and examples*
+
+3) Activate:
+ mkswap /dev/zram0
+ swapon /dev/zram0
+
+ mkfs.ext4 /dev/zram1
+ mount /dev/zram1 /tmp
+
+4) Stats:
+ zramconfig /dev/zram0 --stats
+ zramconfig /dev/zram1 --stats
+
+5) Deactivate:
+ swapoff /dev/zram0
+ umount /dev/zram1
+
+6) Reset:
+ zramconfig /dev/zram0 --reset
+ zramconfig /dev/zram1 --reset
+ (This frees memory allocated for the given device).
