Hi,
Just a few minor fixes (below):

Just drop the "def_bool n".  It's already a "bool" and 'n' is the default value for it.

Please use the documented multi-line comment format.  E.g.:

/*
 * Store failed because zswap_read_in_flight_limit or
 * zswap_write_in_flight_limit is bigger than IO in flight number of
 * swap device.

Use documented multi-line comment format.

ditto.
