Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating pages via memory offlining
Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2024 10:05:08 +0100
We'll migrate pages allocated by other context; respecting the cpuset of
the memory offlining context when allocating a migration target does not
make sense.
Drop the __GFP_HARDWALL by using GFP_KERNEL.
Note that in an ideal world, migration code could figure out the cpuset
of the original context and take that into consideration.
