FWIW, please add my ack to all the patches.  I'm happy
to see zsmalloc move forward.   I'm a bit skeptical
that it will ever be capable of doing everything we
would like it to do, but am eager to see if it can.

I tried to apply patches 2 and 4, but 2 didn't work, so I only applied
4/4.

I don't think so. If zswap might be not merged, we don't need [1, 3]
at the moment. You could argue that [1, 3] make zsmalloc more flexible
and I agree. BUT I want it when we have needs. It would be not too late.
So [1,3] should be part of zswap patchset.

Just to clarify, patches 1 and 3 are _not_ dependent on zswap.  They
just introduce changes that are only needed by zswap.

[2/4] and [4/4] is okay to merge current zsmalloc in staging but
[1/4] and [3/4] is dependent on zswap so it should be part of
zswap patchset.

[PATCH 0/4] staging: zsmalloc: various cleanups/improvments

[Seth Jennings]

These patches are the first 4 patches of the zswap patchset I
sent out previously.  Some recent commits to zsmalloc and
zcache in staging-next forced a rebase. While I was at it, Nitin
(zsmalloc maintainer) requested I break these 4 patches out from
the zswap patchset, since they stand on their own.

All are already Acked-by Nitin.

Based on staging-next as of today.

Seth Jennings (4):
  staging: zsmalloc: add gfp flags to zs_create_pool
  staging: zsmalloc: remove unused pool name
  staging: zsmalloc: add page alloc/free callbacks
  staging: zsmalloc: make CLASS_DELTA relative to PAGE_SIZE
