During a zswap store attempt, the compression algorithm could fail (for e.g due to the page containing incompressible random data). This is not tracked in any of existing zswap counters, making it hard to monitor for and investigate. We have run into this problem several times in our internal investigations on zswap store failures. This patch adds a dedicated debugfs counter for compression algorithm failures.

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.
