Subject: [PATCHv2 0/7] zram: introduce compressed data writeback

As writeback becomes more common there is another shortcoming
that needs to be addressed - compressed data writeback.  Currently
zram does uncompressed data writeback which is not optimal due to
potential CPU and battery wastage.  This series changes suboptimal
uncompressed writeback to a more optimal compressed data writeback.

v1 -> v2:
- made compressed writeback configurable via device attribute
- added missing batch_size documentation
- switched to guard() for init_lock
- more code tweaks and cleanups

Richard Chang (2):
  zram: introduce compressed data writeback
  zram: introduce writeback_compressed device attribute

Sergey Senozhatsky (5):
  zram: document writeback_batch_size
  zram: move bd_stat to writeback section
  zram: rename zram_free_page()
  zram: switch to guard() for init_lock
  zram: consolidate device-attr declarations
