alloc_pages_node() is only involved
Hi,
I'm curious about what will it happen when alloc_pages_node(memoryless_node).
If the memory is allocated from the most preferable node for the
@memoryless_node,
why we need to bother and use cpu_to_mem() in the caller site?
If not, why the memory allocation subsystem refuses to find a prefe
In the presence of memoryless nodes, the workqueue code incorrectly uses
cpu_to_node() to determine what node to prefer memory allocations come
from. cpu_to_mem() should be used instead, which will use the nearest
NUMA node with memory.
