Do we really have to special case this for PMEM? Why cannot we simply go in the zonelist order? In other words why cannot we use the same logic for a larger NUMA machine and instead of swapping simply fallback to a less contended NUMA node? It can be a regular DRAM, PMEM or whatever other type of memory node. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
