Hmm, of course, I can do it easily.
But zs_create_pool returns NULL without error propagation from sub
functions so I don't see any gain from returning errno from
create_cache. I don't mean I hate it but just need a justificaion
to persuade grumpy me.

For source zspage, the policy is to find a fragment object from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY.
For target zspage, the policy is to find a fragment object from ZS_ALMOST_FULL.
Do I misunderstand your question?
