[PATCH v2 4/5] zram: add per-backend caps and validate parameters early
From: Haoqin Huang
Date: Tue Jul 28 2026 - 05:53:37 EST
From: Haoqin Huang <haoqinhuang@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Writing dict or out-of-range level for backends that don't support
them is currently silently accepted but has no effect. For example,
"algo=lzo dict=/data/dict" succeeds but lzo_setup_params() ignores
the dict entirely.
Add caps, level_min and level_max to zcomp_ops and validate
user-supplied parameters in algorithm_params_store() before storing,
printing an error on failure so the user knows what went wrong.
