Actually, there is no point creating size classes beyond [M/(M+1)] * PAGE_SIZE where M is the maximum number of system pages in a zspage. All size classes beyond this size can be collapsed with PAGE_SIZE size class. This can significantly reduce number of size classes created but I think changes needed to do this would be more involved, so perhaps, should be done in another patch.
Can you please resend part of this series (patch 1 to patch 4) which deals just with zsmalloc separately? I haven't yet looked into zswap itself so would help with zsmalloc bits are separated out.
