[RFC PATCH] mm/zsmalloc: allocate exactly size of struct zs_pool

From: Ganesh Mahendran
Date: Sat Nov 29 2014 - 06:24:59 EST


In zs_create_pool(), we allocate memory more then sizeof(struct zs_pool)
ovhd_size = roundup(sizeof(*pool), PAGE_SIZE);

This patch allocate memory of exactly needed size.
