The compressed cache for swap pages (zswap) currently needs from 1 to 3 extra kernel command line parameters in order to make it work: it has to be enabled by adding a "zswap.enabled=1" command line parameter and if one wants a different compressor or pool allocator than the default lzo / zbud combination then these choices also need to be specified on the kernel command line in additional parameters. Using a different compressor and allocator for zswap is actually pretty common as guides often recommend using the lz4 / z3fold pair instead of the default one. In such case it is also necessary to remember to enable the appropriate compression algorithm and pool allocator in the kernel config manually. Let's avoid the need for adding these kernel command line parameters and automatically pull in the dependencies for the selected compressor algorithm and pool allocator by adding an appropriate default switches to Kconfig. The default values for these options match what the code was using previously as its defaults. Signed-off-by: Maciej S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
