-2) Set Disksize
+2) Set max number of compression streams
+	If ZRAM compiled with multi stream compression support, compression
+	backend may use up to max_comp_streams compression streams, thus
+	allowing up to max_comp_streams concurrent compression operations.
+	Otherwise, compression backend uses single compression stream and does
+	not change max_comp_streams value.

+	#show max compression streams number
+	cat /sys/block/zram0/max_comp_streams
+
+	#set max compression streams number to 3
+	echo 3 > /sys/block/zram0/max_comp_streams

+3) Set Disksize
         Set disk size by writing the value to sysfs node 'disksize'.
         The value can be either in bytes or you can use mem suffixes.
