magisk-swapspace

This module saves memory a bit by swapping some to a disk

Installation:

Download the module archive, and flash it in Magisk app, or using command line

Usage:

magisk-swapspace by chickendrop89
usage: magiskswap <NAME> <VALUE> [OPTIONAL]

add <size in GB> [priority] [keep]
  - Creates swapfile and swaps-on

remove [keep]   
  - Permanently swaps-off and deletes swapfile

status [swapon] [swapoff]
  - Prints swapfile size and status

swappiness <1-200> [show] [reset]
  - Controls how agressively Linux swaps anonymous memory

vfs-cache-pressure <1-∞> [show] [reset] 
  - Controls the tendency of the kernel to reclaim the memory

Notes:
- [remove keep, add keep]: 
 Instead of deleting, swap-off permanently but keep the file,
 Later, use "magiskswap add keep" to use the old swapfile         

Notice:

Before tinkering with swappiness and vfs-cache-pressure, you should understand how do they work:

• openSUSE documentation on tuning memory management

• Linux documentation on virtual memory subsystem

Using swap on older eMMC/UFS chips is not recomended and could result in highly reduced lifespan ⚠️

Requirements

• Magisk 20.4+
• KernelSU v0.6.7+
