Actually you can't use the entry->pool there. I get a compile error.

static struct zpool *zswap_find_zpool(struct zswap_entry *entry)
{
        int i =3D 0;

        if (ZSWAP_NR_ZPOOLS > 1)
                i =3D hash_ptr(entry, ilog2(ZSWAP_NR_ZPOOLS));

        return entry->pool->zpools[i];
}

Find zpool will return one of the entry->pool->zpools[i]. It is not
the same as entry->pool.
