Do you mean that dd filling zram could find a regression?

I'm asking because it's a bit strange to have test,
which doesn't lead to any result (TPASS/TFAIL/TBROK/TCONF), which will be

If this part is also a test, maybe following TINFO should be changed to TPASS.
+ Also new shell API allows to use loop in API (code simplify), but that
requires for each run to produce a result.
