mm/page_alloc: don't wake kswapd from rmqueue() unless __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is specified
Commit 73444bc4d8f9 ("mm, page_alloc: do not wake kswapd with zone lock held") moved wakeup_kswapd() from steal_suitable_fallback() to rmqueue() using ZONE_BOOSTED_WATERMARK flag. Only allocation contexts that include ALLOC_KSWAPD (which corresponds to __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) should wake kswapd, for callers are supposed to remove __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM if trying to hold pgdat->kswapd_wait has a risk of deadlock. But since zone->flags is a shared variable, a thread doing !__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM allocation request might observe this flag being set immediately after another thread doing __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM allocation request set this flag, causing possibility of deadlock.
