Eric Dumazet reported a strange numa spreading info in [1], and found
commit 121e6f3258fe ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings") introduced
this issue [2].

Dig into the difference before and after this patch, page allocation has
some difference:

before:
alloc_large_system_hash
     __vmalloc
         __vmalloc_node(..., NUMA_NO_NODE, ...)
             __vmalloc_node_range
                 __vmalloc_area_node
                     alloc_page /* because NUMA_NO_NODE, so choose alloc_page branch */
                         alloc_pages_current
                             alloc_page_interleave /* can be proved by print policy mode */

after:
alloc_large_system_hash
     __vmalloc
         __vmalloc_node(..., NUMA_NO_NODE, ...)
             __vmalloc_node_range
                 __vmalloc_area_node
                     alloc_pages_node /* choose nid by nuam_mem_id() */
                         __alloc_pages_node(nid, ....)

So after commit 121e6f3258fe ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings"),
it will allocate memory in current node instead of interleaving allocate
memory.

Undo the following change in this if block.

Yes, It seem like more simpler as you suggested, But it still have performance regression, I plan to change the following to consider
both mempolcy and alloc_pages_bulk.

Thanks,
