Patch series "zsmalloc/zram: drop zram's max_zpage_size", v3. ZRAM's max_zpage_size is a bad thing. It forces zsmalloc to store normal objects as huge ones, which results in bigger zsmalloc memory usage. Drop it and use actual zsmalloc huge-class value when decide if the object is huge or not. This patch (of 2): Not every object can be share its zspage with other objects, e.g. when the object is as big as zspage or nearly as big a zspage. For such objects zsmalloc has a so called huge class - every object which belongs to huge class consumes the entire zspage (which consists of a physical page). On x86_64, PAGE_SHIFT 12 box, the first non-huge class size is 3264, so starting down from size 3264, objects can share page(-s) and thus minimize memory wastage. ZRAM, however, has its own statically defined watermark for huge objects, namely "3 * PAGE_SIZE / 4 = 3072", and forcibly stores every object larger than this watermark (3072) as a PAGE_SIZE object, in other words, to a huge class, while zsmalloc can keep some of those objects in non-huge classes. This results in increased memory consumption. zsmalloc knows better if the object is huge or not. Introduce zs_huge_class_size() function which tells if the given object can be stored in one of non-huge classes or not. This will let us to drop ZRAM's huge object watermark and fully rely on zsmalloc when we decide if the object is huge.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
