With the command, zram will writeback idle pages from memory to the storage.
+Additionally, if a user choose to writeback only huge and idle pages
+this can be accomplished with::
+
+ echo huge_idle > /sys/block/zramX/writeback
+
If an admin wants to write a specific page in zram device to the backing device,
they could write a page index into the interface.
