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.

My initial suggestion was to have it the following way:
z3fold-limit-first_num-to-the-actual-range-of-possible-buddy-indexes.patch
z3fold-make-pages_nr-atomic.patch
z3fold-extend-compaction-function.patch
z3fold-use-per-page-spinlock.patch
z3fold-fix-header-size-related-issues.patch
z3fold-fix-locking-issues.patch

I would prefer to keep the fix-XXX patches separate since e. g.
z3fold-fix-header-size-related-issues.patch concerns also the problems
that have been in the code for a while now. I am ok with folding these
into the relevant main patches but once again, given that some fixes
are related to the code that is already merged, I don't see why it
would be better.
