From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxx> __GFP_IO is believed to prevent the allocation being suspended due to accessing physical block devices when reclaiming dirty pages. Zram is not considered as such kind of device from kernel perspective of view. Do swap things if the system is zram only.
