Subject[PATCH 5.1 035/122] brd: re-enable __GFP_HIGHMEM in brd_insert_page()
Date
From: Hou Tao <houtao1@huawei.com>

commit f6b50160a06d4a0d6a3999ab0c5aec4f52dba248 upstream.

__GFP_HIGHMEM is disabled if dax is enabled on brd, however
dax support for brd has been removed since commit (7a862fbbdec6
"brd: remove dax support"), so restore __GFP_HIGHMEM in
brd_insert_page().

Also remove the no longer applicable comments about DAX and highmem.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 7a862fbbdec6 ("brd: remove dax support")
