From: Weijie Yang Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 22:36:59 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mm/vmscan: restore sc->gfp_mask after promoting it to __GFP_HIGHMEM X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=619d0d76c1ee943f171c7d4fc021ec7602388579;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git mm/vmscan: restore sc->gfp_mask after promoting it to __GFP_HIGHMEM We promote sc->gfp_mask to __GFP_HIGHMEM to forcibly scan highmem if there are too many buffer_heads pinning highmem. See cc715d99e5 ("mm: vmscan: forcibly scan highmem if there are too many buffer_heads pinning highmem"). This patch restores sc->gfp_mask to its caller original value after finishing the scan job, to avoid the impact on other invocations from its upper caller, such as vmpressure_prio(), shrink_slab().
