From: Mateusz Nosek <mateusznosek0@xxxxxxxxx>
This patch makes ALLOC_KSWAPD equal to __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM (cast to int).
Thanks to that code like:
if (gfp_mask & __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM)
alloc_flags |= ALLOC_KSWAPD;
can be changed to:
alloc_flags |= (__force int) (gfp_mask &__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM);
Thanks to this one branch less is generated in the assembly.
In case of ALLOC_KSWAPD flag two branches are saved, first one in code that
always executes in the beginning of page allocation and the second one in
loop in page allocator slowpath.
