mm/vmalloc: fix numa spreading for large hash tables
Eric Dumazet reported a strange numa spreading info in [1], and found
commit
121e6f3258fe ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings") introduced
this issue [2].
Dig into the difference before and after this patch, page allocation has
some difference:
before:
alloc_large_system_hash
__vmalloc
__vmalloc_node(..., NUMA_NO_NODE, ...)
__vmalloc_node_range
__vmalloc_area_node
alloc_page /* because NUMA_NO_NODE, so choose alloc_page branch */
alloc_pages_current
alloc_page_interleave /* can be proved by print policy mode */
after:
alloc_large_system_hash
__vmalloc
__vmalloc_node(..., NUMA_NO_NODE, ...)
__vmalloc_node_range
__vmalloc_area_node
alloc_pages_node /* choose nid by nuam_mem_id() */
__alloc_pages_node(nid, ....)
So after commit
121e6f3258fe ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings"),
it will allocate memory in current node instead of interleaving allocate
memory.
