Triggering kswap at an order higher than beneficial_order makes little sense, as the driver has already indicated the optimal order at which reclaim is effective. Similarly, issuing direct reclaim or triggering kswap at a lower order than beneficial_order is ineffective, since the driver does not benefit from reclaiming lower-order pages. As a result, direct reclaim should only be issued with __GFP_NORETRY at exactly beneficial_order, or as a fallback, direct reclaim without __GFP_NORETRY at order 0 when failure is not an option.
