However, the existing pages which are marked as same-value filled pages remain stored unchanged in zswap until they are either loaded or invalidated. +To prevent zswap from shrinking pool when zswap is full and there's a high +pressure on swap (this will result in flipping pages in and out zswap pool +without any real benefit but with a performance drop for the system), a +special parameter has been introduced to implement a sort of hysteresis to +refuse taking pages into zswap pool until it has sufficient space if the limit +has been hit.
