The patch titled Fix: find_or_create_page skips cpuset memory spreading. has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is fix-find_or_create_page-skips-cpuset-memory-spreading.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Fix: find_or_create_page skips cpuset memory spreading. From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> We call alloc_page where we should be calling __page_cache_alloc. __page_cache_alloc performs cpuset memory spreading. alloc_page does not. There is no reason that pages allocated via find_or_create should be exempt.
