In the fast path (__alloc_pages_nodemask()) we'll set ac->nodemask to current->mems_allowed, so your code will wrongly assume that this ac->nodemask is a policy that allows the CDM node. Probably not what you want? This might change if we decide to fix the cpuset vs mempolicy issues [1] so your input on that topic with your recent experience with all the alternative CDM isolation implementations would be useful. Thanks.
