From: Alex Shi <alexs@xxxxxxxxxx> According to Metthew's plan, the page descriptor will be replace by a 8 bytes mem_desc on destination purpose. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YvV1KTyzZ+Jrtj9x@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Here is a implement on zsmalloc to replace page descriptor by 'zpdesc', which is still overlay on struct page now. but it's a step move forward above destination. After this patchset, a possible way to memdesc is suggested here: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=172308822809560&w=2 To name the struct zpdesc instead of zsdesc, since there are still 3 zpools under zswap: zbud, z3fold, zsmalloc for now(z3fold maybe removed soon), and we could easyly extend it to other zswap.zpool in needs. For all zswap.zpools, they are all using single page since often used under memory pressure. So the conversion via folio series helper is better than page's for compound_head check saving. For now, all zpools are using some page struct members, like page.flags for PG_private/PG_locked. and list_head lru, page.mapping for page migration. This patachset does not increase the descriptor size nor introduce any functional changes, and could save about 122Kbytes zsmalloc.o size. Thanks a lot for comments and suggestion from Yosry, Yoo, Sergey, Willy and Vishal!
