From c654345924f7cce87bb221b89db91cba890421ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 16:28:21 -0700 Subject: mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD When transparent huge pages were introduced, memory compaction and swap storms were an issue, and the kernel had to be careful to not make THP allocations cause pageout or compaction. Now that we have working compaction deferral, kswapd is smart enough to invoke compaction and the quadratic behaviour around isolate_free_pages has been fixed, it should be safe to remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD.
