OK. How about having one enum? E.g. "zs_flags" or something which
will contain all our constants?

Otherwise I can create two big enums for fullness and stats.
What's your preference on inuse_0 and inuse_100 naming? Do we
keep unified naming or should it be INUSE_MIN/INUSE_MAX or
EMPTY/FULL?

If we report per inuse group then yes:

sprintf("... %lu %lu ..... %lu %lu ...\n",
...
get_stat(ZS_INUSE_RATIO_10),
get_stat(ZS_INUSE_RATIO_20),
get_stat(ZS_INUSE_RATIO_30),
...
get_stat(ZS_INUSE_RATIO_99),
...);
