Oops. This was inside of spin_lock in old my patch. But, it is moved out from spin_lock as a result of refactoring and I didn't notice that. Yes. GFP_KERNEL is better. > > > > Won't this place the node's wait_table into a different node's memory? > > Yes, kmalloc_node would be better. Kmalloc_node() will not work well at here, because this patch is to initialize structures for new node -itself-. It will work after that completion of initalize pgdat and wait_table. To use new node's memory at here, other consideration will be necessary. But, I would like to use kmalloc() to simplify my patch at this time.
