[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: shmem: move reclaim check early on writepages()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     shmem-move-reclaim-check-early-on-writepages.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: shmem: move reclaim check early on writepages()
Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2023 15:05:42 -0800

i915_gem requires huge folios to be split when swapping.  However we have
check for usage of writepages() to ensure it used only for swap purposes
later.  Avoid the splits if we're not being called for reclaim, even if
they should in theory not happen.

This makes the conditions easier to follow on shem_writepage().
