Zone specific allocations, such as GFP_DMA32, should not be restricted to cpusets allowed node list: the zones which such allocations demand might be contained in particular nodes outside the cpuset node list. Necessary for the following usecase: - driver which requires zone specific memory (such as KVM, which requires root pagetable at paddr < 4GB). - user wants to limit allocations of application to nodeX, and nodeX has no memory < 4GB.
