Bug Description

CONFIG_ZSWAP was enabled in 3.11.0-5.11 (bug #1215379), then disabled without explanation on 3.13.0-21.43 (bug #1300412).
Please enable zswap again, I find it quite useful (I use it on desktops and laptops).
Linking in zswap has no effect unless zswap.enabled is passed on the kernel command line.
Thank you.

Gabriel - ZSWAP was suspected of causing instabilities in the ppc64el kernel, but I see now that it could not have. I guess I should have looked a bit closer.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Yes, zswap can be enabled at boot and it's been working well for a few days.

    sudo sh -c "grep . /sys/kernel/debug/zswap/*"
