Subject: mm: enable MADV_FREE for swapless system
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=93e06c7a645343d222c9a838834a51042eebbbf7;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mm: enable MADV_FREE for swapless system

Now MADV_FREE pages can be easily reclaimed even for swapless system.
We can safely enable MADV_FREE for all systems.
