[PATCH 2/3] mm: unify checks in alloc_pages_node() and __alloc_pages_node()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Perform the same debug checks in alloc_pages_node() as are done in
__alloc_pages_node(), by making the former function a wrapper of the latter
one.

In addition to better diagnostics in DEBUG_VM builds for situations which
have been already fatal (e.g. out-of-bounds node id), there are two visible
changes for potential existing buggy callers of alloc_pages_node():

- calling alloc_pages_node() with any negative nid (e.g. due to arithmetic
  overflow) was treated as passing NUMA_NO_NODE and fallback to local node was
  applied. This will now be fatal.
- calling alloc_pages_node() with an offline node will now be checked for
  DEBUG_VM builds. Since it's not fatal if the node has been previously online,
  and this patch may expose some existing buggy callers, change the VM_BUG_ON
  in __alloc_pages_node() to VM_WARN_ON.
