Subject: [PATCH 2/4] iomap: simplify writepages reclaim guard
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 21:16:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902131653.1338227-3-wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902131653.1338227-1-wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com>

Now that kswapd can no longer reach filesystem writeback (pageout()
returns PAGE_ACTIVATE for non-shmem, non-anon folios), any PF_MEMALLOC
context in iomap_writepages() indicates a VM regression, simplify
the check by removing PF_KSWAPD.
