Subject: zsmalloc: document new fullness grouping
Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2023 11:46:30 +0900
Patch series "zsmalloc: minor documentation updates".
Two minor patches that bring zsmalloc documentation up to date.
This patch (of 2):
Update documentation and reflect new zspages fullness grouping (we don't
use almost_empty and almost_full anymore).

-* n = number of allocated objects
-* N = total number of objects zspage can store

+Each zspage maintains inuse counter which keeps track of the number of
+objects stored in the zspage. The inuse counter determines the zspage's
+"fullness group" which is calculated as the ratio of the "inuse" objects to
+the total number of objects the zspage can hold (objs_per_zspage). The
+closer the inuse counter is to objs_per_zspage, the better.
