We have backported the zs_compact() to our product(kernel 3.18).
It is usefull for a longtime running device.
But there is not a convenient way to get the detailed information
of zs_comapct() which is usefull for performance optimization.
Information about how much time zs_compact used, which pool is
compacted, how many page freed, etc.
With these information, we will know what is going on in zs_comapct.
And draw the relation between free mem and zs_comapct.
