[PATCH] mm/shmem: remove unnecessary restrain unmask of swap gfp flags
From: Kairui Song
Date: Wed Feb 11 2026 - 09:35:02 EST
From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>
The comment makes it look like copy-paste leftovers from
shmem_replace_folio. The first try of the swap doesn't always have a
limited zone.
So don't drop the restraint, which should make the GFP more accurate.
