From de3083ec3e6bfb1ab60bc8a410f37702529f953c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 01:50:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] slab: fix kmalloc_node applying memory policies if nodeid == numa_node_id() kmalloc_node() falls back to ___cache_alloc() under certain conditions and at that point memory policies may be applied redirecting the allocation away from the current node. Therefore kmalloc_node(...,numa_node_id()) or kmalloc_node(...,-1) may not return memory from the local node. Fix this by doing the policy check in __cache_alloc() instead of ____cache_alloc(). This version here is a cleanup of Kiran's patch. - Tested on ia64. - Extra material removed. - Consolidate the exit path if alternate_node_alloc() returned an object.
