The challenge is that we also want to take advantage of improving zsmalloc
to save compressed multi-pages. However, it seems quite impossible for
zsmalloc to achieve this for a mTHP is scattered but not put together in
zRAM.

The good news is that this is exactly what we're implementing in our products,
and it has been deployed on millions of phones.

  *  Allocate mTHP and swap in the entire mTHP  in do_swap_page();
  *  If mTHP allocation fails, allocate 16 pages to swap-in in do_swap_page();

To be honest, we haven't noticed a visible increase in memory footprint. This is
likely because Android's anonymous memory exhibits good spatial locality, and
64KiB strikes a good balance—neither too large nor too small.

The bad news is that I haven't found a way to convince the community this
is universally correct.

Exactly. From my understanding, we've reached a point where small folios are
struggling to find swap slots. Note that I always swap out mTHP before swapping
out small folios. Additionally, I have already swapped in 1MB small
folios before
swapping out, which means zRAM has 1MB-4KB of redundant space available
for mTHP to swap out.
