commit 42e99bd975fd ("zram: optimize memory operations with
clear_page()/copy_page()") optimize page copy/clean operations, but
then commit d72e9a7a93e4 ("zram: do not use copy_page with non-page
aligned address") removes the optimization because there's memory
corruption at that time, the reason was well explained. But after
commit 1f7319c74275 ("zram: partial IO refactoring"), partial IO uses
alloc_page() instead of kmalloc to allocate a page, so we can bring
back the optimization.

commit 80ba4caf8ba9 ("zram: use copy_page for full page copy") brings
back partial optimization, missed one point in zram_write_page().
optimize the full page copying in zram_write_page() with copy_page()

Is copy_page() really more optimal than memcpy(PAGE_SIZE)?

I think yes copy_page performs better than memcpy(PAGE_SIZE)
commit afb2d666d025 ("zsmalloc: use copy_page for full page copy")
also shows the result.

I know this is pre-existing code, but why do we need to kmap
for comp_len == PAGE_SIZE and not for the other cases?  Something
feels really obsfucated here.

It is tricky a little.

If we managed to compress page (size < zsmalloc uncompressible watermark)
then src is per-CPU buffer with compressed data.  Otherwise src is original
page (with uncompressed data).
