Hi Chengming,
I still feel these two memcpys are too big and unnecessary, so i sent
a RFC[1] to remove
them as well as another one removing memcpy in zswap[2].
but unfortunately I don't have real hardware to run and collect data,
I wonder if you are
interested in testing and collecting data as you are actively
contributing to zswap.
