I believe it is not relevant. They are discussing problem of memory allocation in general, that behaviour did not change much in recent kernels. But what we are discussing is a regression of using swap in kernels >= 4.10 (or >= 4.11?). In that thread topic starter suggests to swapoff, but what we are discussing is wise a versa not using an enabled swap.
