Subject: mm: mempolicy: fix THP allocations escaping mempolicy restrictions
alloc_pages_vma() may try to allocate THP page on the local NUMA node
first:
page = __alloc_pages_node(hpage_node,
gfp | __GFP_THISNODE | __GFP_NORETRY, order);
And if the allocation fails it retries allowing remote memory:
if (!page && (gfp & __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM))
page = __alloc_pages_node(hpage_node,
gfp, order);
However, this retry allocation completely ignores memory policy nodemask
allowing allocation to escape restrictions.
The first appearance of this bug seems to be the commit ac5b2c18911f
("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings")
The bug disappeared later in the commit 89c83fb539f9
("mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask")
and reappeared again in slightly different form in the commit 76e654cc91bb
("mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised")
Fix this by passing correct nodemask to the __alloc_pages() call.
The demonstration/reproducer of the problem:
