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 for finding and debugging this. These APIs are a maze of twisty
little passages, all alike so I could be as confused as I was when I
wrote that patch, but doesn't a minimal fix look something like this?
Yes, I sent a patch，it looks like as you show, besides it also
contains some performance optimization.
[PATCH] mm/vmalloc: introduce alloc_pages_bulk_array_mempolicy to
accelerate memory allocation
