Subject[PATCH] mm: mask DIRECT_RECLAIM in kswapd
Date
From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@unisoc.com>

As the eg bellowing, using GFP_KERNEL could confuse the registered .releasepage
or .shrinker functions when called in kswapd and have them acting wrongly.Mask
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM in kswapd.

eg,
kswapd
shrink_page_list
try_to_release_page
__fscache_maybe_release_page
...
if (!(gfp & __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM) || !(gfp & __GFP_FS)) {
fscache_stat(&fscache_n_store_vmscan_busy);
return false;
}
