[PATCHv2 2/2] zram: drop max_zpage_size and use zs_huge_class_size()

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Tue Mar 06 2018 - 02:07:09 EST


This patch removes ZRAM's enforced "huge object" value and uses
zsmalloc huge-class watermark instead, which makes more sense.

TEST
- I used a 1G zram device, LZO compression back-end, original
data set size was 444MB. Looking at zsmalloc classes stats the
test ended up to be pretty fair.

As we can see, we reduced the number of objects stored in class-4096,
because a huge number of objects which we previously forcibly stored
in class-4096 now stored in non-huge class-3264. This results in lower
memory consumption:
- zsmalloc now uses 47424 physical pages, which is less than 48787
pages zsmalloc used before.

- objects that we store in class-3264 share zspages. That's why overall
the number of pages that both class-4096 and class-3264 consumed went
down from 10924 to 9564.
