Sergey Senozhatsky c87d1655c2 zram: remove obsolete sysfs attrs
We had a deprecated_attr_warn() warning for 2 years and now the time has
come and we finally can do the cleanup.

The plan was as follows:

: per-stat sysfs attributes are considered to be deprecated.
: The basic strategy is:
: -- the existing RW nodes will be downgraded to WO nodes (in linux 4.11)
: -- deprecated RO sysfs nodes will eventually be removed (in linux 4.11)
:
: The list of deprecated attributes can be found here:
: Documentation/ABI/obsolete/sysfs-block-zram
:
: Basically, every attribute that has its own read accessible sysfs
: node (e.g. num_reads) *AND* is accessible via one of the stat files
: (zram<id>/stat or zram<id>/io_stat or zram<id>/mm_stat) is considered
: to be deprecated.

The patch also removes `obsolete/sysfs-block-zram', clean ups
`testing/sysfs-block-zram' and tweaks zram.txt files.

What: /sys/block/zram<id>/disksize
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
Description:
The disksize file is read-write and specifies the disk size
which represents the limit on the *uncompressed* worth of data
that can be stored in this disk.
Unit: bytes
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/initstate
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
Description:
The initstate file is read-only and shows the initialization
state of the device.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/reset
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
Description:
The reset file is write-only and allows resetting the
device. The reset operation frees all the memory associated
with this device.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/max_comp_streams
Date: February 2014
Contact: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com>
Description:
The max_comp_streams file is read-write and specifies the
number of backend's zcomp_strm compression streams (number of
concurrent compress operations).
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/comp_algorithm
Date: February 2014
Contact: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com>
Description:
The comp_algorithm file is read-write and lets to show
available and selected compression algorithms, change
compression algorithm selection.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/mem_used_max
Date: August 2014
Contact: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>
Description:
The mem_used_max file is write-only and is used to reset
the counter of maximum memory zram have consumed to store
compressed data. For resetting the value, you should write
"0". Otherwise, you could see -EINVAL.
Unit: bytes
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/mem_limit
Date: August 2014
Contact: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>
Description:
The mem_limit file is write-only and specifies the maximum
amount of memory ZRAM can use to store the compressed data.
The limit could be changed in run time and "0" means disable
the limit. No limit is the initial state. Unit: bytes
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/compact
Date: August 2015
Contact: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>
Description:
The compact file is write-only and trigger compaction for
allocator zrm uses. The allocator moves some objects so that
it could free fragment space.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/io_stat
Date: August 2015
Contact: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com>
Description:
The io_stat file is read-only and accumulates device's I/O
statistics not accounted by block layer. For example,
failed_reads, failed_writes, etc. File format is similar to
block layer statistics file format.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/mm_stat
Date: August 2015
Contact: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com>
Description:
The mm_stat file is read-only and represents device's mm
statistics (orig_data_size, compr_data_size, etc.) in a format
similar to block layer statistics file format.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/debug_stat
Date: July 2016
Contact: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com>
Description:
The debug_stat file is read-only and represents various
device's debugging info useful for kernel developers. Its
format is not documented intentionally and may change
anytime without any notice.
