From b360edb43f8ed50aa7b8c9aae7d7557a1a6e32c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2015 15:46:52 -0700 Subject: mm, mempolicy: migrate_to_node should only migrate to node migrate_to_node() is intended to migrate a page from one source node to a target node. Today, migrate_to_node() could end up migrating to any node, not only the target node. This is because the page migration allocator, new_node_page() does not pass __GFP_THISNODE to alloc_pages_exact_node(). This causes the target node to be preferred but allows fallback to any other node in order of affinity. Prevent this by allocating with __GFP_THISNODE. If memory is not available, -ENOMEM will be returned as appropriate.
