From 82c1fc714763b823169958a98196d9be56c63b30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2015 15:03:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: use numa_mem_id() in alloc_pages_node() alloc_pages_node() might fail when called with NUMA_NO_NODE and __GFP_THISNODE on a CPU belonging to a memoryless node. To make the local-node fallback more robust and prevent such situations, use numa_mem_id(), which was introduced for similar scenarios in the slab context.
