The patch titled Subject: mm, page_alloc: warn_alloc nodemask is NULL when cpusets are disabled has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-page_alloc-warn_alloc-nodemask-is-null-when-cpusets-are-disabled.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-page_alloc-warn_alloc-nodemask-is-null-when-cpusets-are-disabled.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-page_alloc-warn_alloc-nodemask-is-null-when-cpusets-are-disabled.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, page_alloc: warn_alloc nodemask is NULL when cpusets are disabled The patch "mm, page_alloc: warn_alloc print nodemask" implicitly sets the allocation nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed when there is no effective mempolicy. cpuset_current_mems_allowed is only effective when cpusets are enabled, which is also printed by warn_alloc(), so setting the nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed is redundant and prevents debugging issues where ac->nodemask is not set properly in the page allocator. This provides better debugging output since cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed() is already provided.
