Subject: mm/oom_kill: remove unreachable __GFP_THISNODE check in constrained_alloc()
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 17:38:09 +0800

The __GFP_THISNODE check in constrained_alloc() is dead code: global OOM
is never triggered with __GFP_THISNODE (blocked in __alloc_pages_may_oom
before out_of_memory() is called), and memcg OOM returns CONSTRAINT_MEMCG
at the top of the function before reaching this point.  Remove the check,
its stale comment, and update the following comment that referenced
__GFP_THISNODE.
