# in-memory compressed RAM
# defaults to compressing at most 50% size of RAM
# claimed compression ratio is about 2:1
# - but on moby w/ zstd default i see 4-7:1 (ratio lowers as it fills)
# note that idle overhead is about 0.05% of capacity (e.g. 2B per 4kB page)
# docs: <https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/blockdev/zram.txt>
#
# to query effectiveness:
# `cat /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat`. whitespace separated fields:
# - *orig_data_size* (bytes)
# - *compr_data_size* (bytes)
# - mem_used_total (bytes)
# - mem_limit (bytes)
# - mem_used_max (bytes)
# - *same_pages* (pages which are e.g. all zeros (consumes no additional mem))
# - *pages_compacted* (pages which have been freed thanks to compression)
# - huge_pages (incompressible)
