    mm: remove gfp_mask from add_to_swap · ac47b003

    Remove gfp_mask argument from add_to_swap(): it's misleading because its
    only caller, shrink_page_list(), is not atomic at that point; and in due
    course (implementing discard) we'll sometimes want to allocate some memory
    with GFP_NOIO (as is used in swap_writepage) when allocating swap.
    
    No change to the gfp_mask passed down to add_to_swap_cache(): still use
    __GFP_HIGH without __GFP_WAIT (with nomemalloc and nowarn as before):
    though it's not obvious if that's the best combination to ask for here.
