Yes, zsmalloc has a fragmentation issue. This has been a topic lately.
I and others are looking at putting compaction logic into zsmalloc to
help with this.

One problem with using the SLAB allocator is that kmalloc caches greater
than 256 bytes, at least on my x86_64 machine, have slabs that require
high order page allocations, which are going to be really hard to come
by in the memory stressed environment in which zswap/zram are expected
to operate. I guess you could max out at 256 byte chunks to overcome
this. However, if you have a 3k object, that would require copying 12
chunks from potentially 12 different pages into a contiguous area at
mapping time and a larger metadata size.

Smallest kmalloc cache is 8 bytes so up to 7 bytes of internal
fragmentation per object right? If so, "near zero".

Lets put a number on it. Internal fragmentation on objects with size >
ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE is ZS_SIZE_CLASS_DELTA-1, which is 15 bytes with
PAGE_SIZE of 4k. If the allocation is less than ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE,
fragmentation could be as high as ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE-1 which is 31 on a
64-bit system with 4k pages. (Note: I don't think that is it possible to
compress a 4k page to less than 32 bytes, so for zswap, there will be no
allocations in this size range).

So we are looking at up to 7 vs 15 bytes of internal fragmentation per
object in the case when allocations are > ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE. Once you
take into account the per-object metadata overhead of afmalloc, I think
zsmalloc comes out ahead here.

While freeing chunks back to the slab allocator does make that memory
available to other _kernel_ users, the fragmentation problem is just
moved one level down. The fragmentation will exist in the slabs and
those fragmented slabs won't be freed to the page allocator, which would
make them available to _any_ user, not just the kernel. Additionally,
there is little visibility into how chunks are organized in the slab,
making compaction at the afmalloc level nearly impossible. (The only
visibility being the address returned by kmalloc())

See last comment about why the real measure of memory usage should be
total pages not returned to the page allocator. I don't consider chunks
freed to the slab allocator to be truly freed unless the slab containing
the chunks is also freed to the page allocator.

The closest thing I can think of to measure the memory utilization of
this allocator is, for each kmalloc cache, do a before/after of how many
slabs are in the cache, then multiply that delta by pagesperslab and sum
the results. This would give a rough measure of the number of pages
utilized in the slab allocator either by or as a result of afmalloc.
Of course, there will be noise from other components doing allocations
during the time between the before and after measurement.
