The patch titled Guarantee that the uncached allocator gets pages on the correct node has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is guarantee-that-the-uncached-allocator-gets-pages-on-the-correct.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Guarantee that the uncached allocator gets pages on the correct node From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> The uncached allocator manages per node pools. Specify __GFP_THISNODE in order to force allocation on the indicated node or fail. The uncached allocator has already logic to deal with failing allocations.
