From: Andi Kleen Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 23:33:12 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mm: add __GFP_OTHER_NODE flag X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=78afd5612deb8268bafc8b6507d72341d5ed9aac;p=linux-beck.git mm: add __GFP_OTHER_NODE flag Add a new __GFP_OTHER_NODE flag to tell the low level numa statistics in zone_statistics() that an allocation is on behalf of another thread. This way the local and remote counters can be still correct, even when background daemons like khugepaged are changing memory mappings. This only affects the accounting, but I think it's worth doing that right to avoid confusing users. I first tried to just pass down the right node, but this required a lot of changes to pass down this parameter and at least one addition of a 10th argument to a 9 argument function. Using the flag is a lot less intrusive. Open: should be also used for migration?
