From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
f52407ce2dea ("memory hotplug: alloc page from other node in memory
online") has introduced N_HIGH_MEMORY checks to only use NUMA aware
allocations when there is some memory present because the respective
node might not have any memory yet at the time and so it could fail
or even OOM. Things have changed since then though. Zonelists are
now always initialized before we do any allocations even for hotplug
(see 959ecc48fc75 ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: fix building of node hotplug
zonelist")). Therefore these checks are not really needed. In fact
caller of the allocator should never care about whether the node is
populated because that might change at any time.
