Patch series "zsmalloc: make zspage chain size configurable". Computers are bad at division. We currently decide the best zspage chain size (max number of physical pages per-zspage) by looking at a `used percentage` value. This is not enough as we lose precision during usage percentage calculations For example, let's look at size class 208: pages per zspage wasted bytes used% 1 144 96 2 80 99 3 16 99 4 160 99 Current algorithm will select 2 page per zspage configuration, as it's the first one to reach 99%. However, 3 pages per zspage waste less memory. Change algorithm and select zspage configuration that has lowest wasted value.
