The semantics of MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY is similar to MPOL_PREFERRED, that it will first try to allocate memory from the preferred node(s), and fallback to all nodes in system when first try fails. Add a dedicated function alloc_pages_preferred_many() for it just like for 'interleave' policy, which will be used by 2 general memoory allocation APIs: alloc_pages() and alloc_pages_vma() Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200630212517.308045-9-ben.widawsky@xxxxxxxxx Suggested-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Originally-by: Ben Widawsky <ben.widawsky@xxxxxxxxx> Co-developed-by: Ben Widawsky <ben.widawsky@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ben Widawsky <ben.widawsky@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Feng Tang <feng.tang@xxxxxxxxx> --- mm/mempolicy.c | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 30 insertions(+) diff --git a/mm/mempolicy.c b/mm/mempolicy.c index 72f7ff760989..a00bb1c48a15 100644 --- a/mm/mempolicy.c +++ b/mm/mempolicy.c @@ -2166,6 +2166,27 @@ static struct page *alloc_page_interleave(gfp_t gfp, unsigned order, return page; } +static struct page *alloc_pages_preferred_many(gfp_t gfp, unsigned int order, + int nid, struct mempolicy *pol) +{ + struct page *page; + gfp_t preferred_gfp; + + /* + * This is a two pass approach.
