Subject: Fix GFP_THISNODE behavior for memoryless nodes
From: clameter@xxxxxxx
GFP_THISNODE checks that the zone selected is within the pgdat (node) of the
first zone of a nodelist. That only works if the node has memory. A
memoryless node will have its first zone on another pgdat (node).
Thus GFP_THISNODE may be returning memory on other nodes. GFP_THISNODE should
fail if there is no local memory on a node.
So we add a check to verify that the node specified has memory in
alloc_pages_node(). If the node has no memory then return NULL.
The case of alloc_pages(GFP_THISNODE) is not changed. alloc_pages() (with no
memory policies in effect) is understood to prefer the current node. If a
process is running on a node with no memory then its default allocations come
from the next neighboring node. GFP_THISNODE will then force the memory to
come from that node.
