stable request: mm, page_alloc: actually ignore mempolicies for high priority allocations

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, Please consider backporting to 4.14.y the following commit from
kernel-net-next by Vlastimil Babka [CC'ed]:

d6a24df00638 ("mm, page_alloc: actually ignore mempolicies for high
priority allocations") It cherry-picks cleanly and builds fine.

The reason for the request is that the commit 1d26c112959f
<http://stash.eng.vyatta.net:7990/projects/VC/repos/linux-vyatta/commits/1d26c112959f> ("mm,
page_alloc:do not break __GFP_THISNODE by zonelist reset") that was
previously backported to 4.14.y broke some of our functionality after we
upgraded from an earlier 4.14 kernel without the fix. The reason this is
happening is not clear, with this commit only found by bisect.
Fortunately the requested commit resolves the issue.

Best Regards,

Mike Manning
