[PATCH, RESEND 1/4] mm: drop zap_details::ignore_dirty

Show all headers | View raw

The only user of ignore_dirty is oom-reaper. But it doesn't really use
it.

ignore_dirty only has effect on file pages mapped with dirty pte.
But oom-repear skips shared VMAs, so there's no way we can dirty file
pte in them.
