Sorry, but this is all stuff which you easily had available but which I had to figure out. And which I now present to other readers so they needn't figure it out. That would be inefficient! Ho hum, anyway, thanks, applied as an effectively unchangelogged fix against mm-unstable's "zram: rework recompress target selection strategy".

Oh, sorry. I thought that would be just a fixup patch that gets squashed with the patch it was applied against. > a) What are the user-visible runtime effects? There aren't too many. Buckets are size classes that hold compressed objects' indexes (zram slots) that are candidates for post-processing (re-compression of writeback). The bucket 0 was skipped before, which is the bucket for compressed objects smaller than 64 bytes. We rarely have anything there, such level of compression (PAGE_SIZE -> 64 bytes) is not common in general. The lower the bucket index the less interested we are in post-processing of the items there. E.g. recompression of a 64 bytes object with more efficient algorithm, even if successful, probably will save us just a couple of bytes. > b) What is the Fixes: It doesn't fix any upstream commit, the code in question is in mm-unstable. > c) Is a cc:stable needed?

The Reported-by tag there is to give Dan credit for spotting that "typo". > Sorry, but this is all stuff which you easily had available but which I > had to figure out.

My bad, sir. > Ho hum, anyway, thanks, applied as an effectively unchangelogged fix > against mm-unstable's "zram: rework recompress target selection > strategy". Thank you.
