At this point I NACK this patch. We're about to submit an allocator which is clearly better that z3fold and is faster that zsmalloc in most cases and that submission will mark z3fold as deprecated. But for now this move is premature.I think unless there are current users of z3fold that cannot use zsmalloc, the introduction of a new allocator should be irrelevant to deprecating z3fold. Do you know of such users? Can you explain why zsmalloc is not usable for them?
I second this. I believe "do we know whether z3fold has users" is a legit question that means no offense.
