Commit fc4eb486a59d ("selftests/zram: Skip max_comp_streams
interface on newer kernel") added kernel_gte() to zram_lib.sh.
The function uses the bash-specific [[ ... ]] conditional, but
zram selftests source this file while running under /bin/sh.

On systems where /bin/sh is dash, such as Debian, the following
test fails:

  dash -c '
  kernel_major=6; kernel_minor=1; major=6; minor=0
  if [ $kernel_major -gt $major ]; then
      echo ok
  elif [[ $kernel_major -eq $major &amp;&amp; $kernel_minor -ge $minor ]]; then
      echo ok
  fi'

with:

  dash: 5: [[: not found

Use separate POSIX test expressions joined by &amp;&amp; instead.

With zswap using zsmalloc directly, there are no more in-tree users of
this code.  Remove it.

With zpool gone, zsmalloc is now always a simple dependency and no
longer something the user needs to configure. Hide CONFIG_ZSMALLOC
from the user and have zswap and zram pull it in as needed.

If zram-generator package is installed and works, then we can not remove
zram module because zram swap is being used. This case needs a clean zram
environment, change this test by using hot_add/hot_remove interface. So
even zram device is being used, we still can add zram device and remove
them in cleanup.

The two interface was introduced since kernel commit 6566d1a32bf7("zram:
add dynamic device add/remove functionality") in v4.2-rc1. If kernel
supports these two interface, we use hot_add/hot_remove to slove this
problem, if not, just check whether zram is being used or built in, then
skip it on old kernel.

zram01 uses `free -m` to measure zram memory usage. The results are no
sense because they are polluted by all running processes on the system.

We Should only calculate the free memory delta for the current process.
So use the third field of /sys/block/zram&lt;id&gt;/mm_stat to measure memory
usage instead. The file is available since kernel 4.1.

orig_data_size(first): uncompressed size of data stored in this disk.
compr_data_size(second): compressed size of data stored in this disk
mem_used_total(third): the amount of memory allocated for this disk

Also remove useless zram cleanup call in zram_fill_fs and so we don't
need to cleanup zram twice if fails.

Since commit 43209ea2d17a ("zram: remove max_comp_streams internals"), zram
has switched to per-cpu streams. Even kernel still keep this interface for
some reasons, but writing to max_comp_stream doesn't take any effect. So
skip it on newer kernel ie 4.7.

The code that comparing kernel version is from xfstests testsuite ext4/053.

Rename the blockdev documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.

The drbd sub-directory contains some graphs and data flows.
Add those too to the documentation.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

When zram test is skipped because of unmet dependencies and/or
unsupported configuration, it exits with error which is treated as
a fail by the Kselftest framework. This leads to false negative result
even when the test could not be run.

Change it to return kselftest skip code when a test gets skipped to
clearly report that the test could not be run.

Kselftest framework SKIP code is 4 and the framework prints appropriate
messages to indicate that the test is skipped.
