    mm: remove try_to_munlock from vmscan · 63d6c5ad
    Hugh Dickins authored
    An unfortunate feature of the Unevictable LRU work was that reclaiming an
    anonymous page involved an extra scan through the anon_vma: to check that
    the page is evictable before allocating swap, because the swap could not
    be freed reliably soon afterwards.
    
    Now try_to_free_swap() has replaced remove_exclusive_swap_page(), that's
    not an issue any more: remove try_to_munlock() call from
    shrink_page_list(), leaving it to try_to_munmap() to discover if the page
    is one to be culled to the unevictable list - in which case then
    try_to_free_swap().
    
    Update unevictable-lru.txt to remove comments on the try_to_munlock() in
    shrink_page_list(), and shorten some lines over 80 columns.
