I don't get it. The zsmalloc's zs_zpool_total_size returns u64 with bytes,
not pages so what's broken stuff you mentioned?

static u64 zs_zpool_total_size(void *pool)
{
    -	return zs_get_total_size_bytes(pool);
    +	return zs_get_total_size(pool) << PAGE_SHIFT;
}

Thing I nudged to you is just you could roll back to pages count
instead of bytes if zswap guys want it and I dont' want it myself
for avoding unnecessary noise for this patchset's purpose.

Nope. zs_zpool_total_size returns u64 with PAGE_SHIFT.

It's up to you, not me.

I didn't mean it. Sorry for the confusing.
If I miss your point, let me know it.

Thanks.
