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.

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.
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.
