[PATCHv7 24/24] zram: support priority parameter in recompression

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Mon Sep 02 2024 - 07:03:19 EST


recompress device attribute supports alg=NAME parameter
so that we can specify only one particular algorithm we
want to perform recompression with. However, with algo
params we now can have several exactly same secondary
algorithms but each with its own params tuning (e.g.
priority 1 configured to use more aggressive level, and
priority 2 configured to use a pre-trained dictionary).
Support priority=NUM parameter so that we can correctly
determine which secondary algorithm we want to use.
