Dear Maintainer, in debian bookworm 12 I had zswap configured to use zstd compressor, passed by kernel parameters, after the migration/upgrade from debian bookworm 12
to trixie 13, a message log started to appear "zswap: compressor zstd not available, using default lzo". I had other machines with debian 12 yet, so I can check and test on
them, and they don't have this problem when configured zswap with zstd compressor. So... something happened between migration.
* What led up to the situation?
- The upgrade from bookworm 12 to trixie 13 led to dmesg "zswap: compressor zstd not available, using default lzo"
Before the upgrade, zswap compressors can be selected in kernel parameters at boot (/etc/default/grub) now, can't despite being configured in kernel parameters
and pre-load the corresponding modules in initramfs.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
- Revision if files were changed after the migration: "/etc/default/grub" has "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=zswap.enabled=1 zswap.compressor=zstd"
and "/etc/initramfs-tools/modules" has "zstd".
- Redo "update-grub" and "update-initramfs -u", ineffective.
- Change to another compressor "lz4", modify the files acordinly "/etc/default/grub" zswap.compressor=lz4 and "/etc/initramfs-tools/modules" to have lz4
and redo "update-grub" and "update-initramfs -u".
- Checking if module zstd is loaded:
root@kitchen:~# lsmod | grep zstd
zstd 12288 4
- Changing compressor at runtime:
root@kitchen:~# sudo echo zstd > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor
root@kitchen:~# cat /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor
zstd
* What was the outcome of this action?
- zswap: compressor lz4 not available, using default lzo. Same effect as configuring zstd. Not load at boot.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
- The same behaviour as bookworm 12, to load the corresponding zswap compressor at boot, after the migration this is without effect to setting at boot.
You can instead change parameters at runtime:
root@kitchen:~# sudo echo zstd > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor
root@kitchen:~# cat /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor
zstd
Checking in internet, I am not the only one who had this problem in Debian 13 Trixie after migration, in reddit some other users has reported the same bug after the migration:
https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1n2g8fy/problems_with_zswap_on_debian_13/
And some considered to report a bug to Debian but hasn't done (acorrding to messages).
