I hate to be a kernel bureaucrat, but there's a lot missing from this
changelog!
a) What are the user-visible runtime effects?
b) What is the Fixes:
c) Is a cc:stable needed? If so, a) is super-relevant.
oh, it's a fix against the mm-unstable patch "zram: rework recompress
target selection strategy". That's new information! Please disregard
the above.
d) what was wrong with the original code? And still a).

e) what did Dan report ("Closes:")?
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.

It doesn't fix any upstream commit, the code in question is in
mm-unstable.

No. And a) is not super-relevant.

Oh, yes, correct. This series:

It doesn't close any known/reported issue. The Reported-by tag there
is to give Dan credit for spotting that "typo".

My bad, sir.

Thank you.
