Yang Shi 4afab1cd25 mm: shmem: use proper gfp flags for shmem_writepage()
The shmem_writepage() uses GFP_ATOMIC to allocate swap cache.  GFP_ATOMIC
used to mean __GFP_HIGH, but now it means __GFP_HIGH | __GFP_ATOMIC |
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  However, shmem_writepage() should write out to swap
only in response to memory pressure, so __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM looks useless
since the caller may be kswapd itself or in direct reclaim already.

In addition, XArray node allocations from PF_MEMALLOC contexts could
completely exhaust the page allocator, __GFP_NOMEMALLOC stops emergency
reserves from being allocated.

Here just copy the gfp flags used by add_to_swap().

Hugh:
 "a cleanup to make the two calls look the same when they don't need to
  be different (whereas the call from __read_swap_cache_async() rightly
  uses a lower priority gfp)".

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
