49Description:
50 The notify_free file is read-only and specifies the number of
51 swap slot free notifications received by this device. These
Bernhard M. Wiedemann51d8a7b2013-08-26 14:55:44 -070052 notifications are sent to a swap block device when a swap slot
Nitin Guptae98419c2010-08-09 22:56:56 +053053 is freed. This statistic is applicable only when this disk is
54 being used as a swap disk.

57Date: August 2010
58Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
59Description:
60 The discard file is read-only and specifies the number of

75Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
76Description:
77 The orig_data_size file is read-only and specifies uncompressed
78 size of data stored in this disk. This excludes zero-filled
79 pages (zero_pages) since no memory is allocated for them.

85Description:
86 The compr_data_size file is read-only and specifies compressed
87 size of data stored in this disk. So, compression ratio can be
88 calculated using orig_data_size and this statistic.
