zram and zswap

This tag covers discussions about zram and zswap, two Linux kernel features that provide compressed swap and memory caching to reduce memory pressure. The tagged content focuses on a Linux 7.3 update that removes a scaling bottleneck in compressed swap operations, aiming to prevent long system stalls during high memory usage. The discussion also touches on Kernel Samepage Merging (KSM) and its optimization to avoid scanning irrelevant memory mappings. While the tag is Linux-specific, it is relevant to WindowsForum.com users interested in memory management, virtualization, or running Linux in environments where performance under memory pressure matters. The content is technical and geared toward users familiar with kernel internals and system tuning.
