The patch titled
     Subject: zsmalloc: partial page ordering within a fullness_list
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     zsmalloc-partial-page-ordering-within-a-fullness_list.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: zsmalloc: partial page ordering within a fullness_list

We want to see more ZS_FULL pages and less ZS_ALMOST_{FULL, EMPTY} pages. 
Put a page with higher ->inuse count first within its ->fullness_list,
which will give us better chances to fill up this page with new objects
(find_get_zspage() return ->fullness_list head for new object allocation),
so some zspages will become ZS_ALMOST_FULL/ZS_FULL quicker.

It performs a trivial and cheap ->inuse compare which does not slow down
zsmalloc and in the worst case keeps the list pages in no particular
order.

A more expensive solution could sort fullness_list by ->inuse count.
