[PATCH v3 3/3] Documentation/cgroup-v2: clarify that zswap.writeback is ignored if zswap is disabled

From: Mike Yuan
Date: Fri Aug 23 2024 - 12:27:49 EST


As discussed in [1], zswap-related settings natually
lose their effect when zswap is disabled, specifically
zswap.writeback here. Be explicit about this behavior.
