Hello,
more tests. I did only 8streams vs per-cpu this time. the changes
to the test are:
-- mem-hogger now per-faults pages in parallel with fio
-- mem-hogger alloc size increased from 3GB to 4GB.
the system couldn't survive 4GB/4GB
zram(buffer_compress_percentage=11)/mem-hogger
split (OOM), so I executed the 3GB/4GB test (close to system's OOM edge).
-- 4 GB x86_64
-- 3 GB zram lzo
firts, the mm_stat. <num_writes / num_recompressions>
