As commit 50a50d2 ("z3fold: don't fail kernel build is z3fold_header is too big") was NAK'ed [1], I would suggest that we removed that one and the next z3fold commit cc1e9c8 ("z3fold: discourage use of pages that weren't compacted") and applied the coming 2 instead.

Instead of adding these onto all the previous ones, could you redo the
entire z3fold series?  I think it'll be simpler to review the series
all at once and that would remove some of the stuff from previous
patches that shouldn't be there.

If that's ok with Andrew, of course, but I don't think any of the
z3fold patches have been pushed to Linus yet.
