From 38448181459e24257b40d5258afdbaa3565e8cfc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2025 09:45:39 -0400 Subject: mm: vmscan: restore high-cpu watermark safety in kswapd Vlastimil points out that commit a211c6550efc ("mm: page_alloc: defrag_mode kswapd/kcompactd watermarks") switched kswapd from zone_watermark_ok_safe() to the standard, percpu-cached version of reading free pages, thus dropping the watermark safety precautions for systems with high CPU counts (e.g. >212 cpus on 64G). Restore them. Since zone_watermark_ok_safe() is no longer the right interface, and this was the last caller of the function anyway, open-code the zone_page_state_snapshot() conditional and delete the function.
