Subject: [RFC 0/4] ZRAM: make it just store the high compression rate page

Current ZRAM just can store all pages even if the compression rate
of a page is really low.  So the compression rate of ZRAM is out of
control when it is running.
In my part, I did some test and record with ZRAM.  The compression rate
is about 40%.

This series of patches make ZRAM can just store the page that the
compressed size is smaller than a value.
With these patches, I set the value to 2048 and did the same test with
before.  The compression rate is about 20%.  The times of lowmemorykiller
also decreased.

Hui Zhu (4):
vmscan.c: shrink_page_list: unmap anon pages after pageout
Add non-swap page flag to mark a page will not swap
ZRAM: do not swap the pages that compressed size bigger than non_swap
vmscan.c: zram: add non swap support for shmem file pages
