[PATCH 08/11] mm/slab: make cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary node

From: js1304
Date: Mon Mar 28 2016 - 01:28:50 EST


From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx>

Currently, cache_grow() assumes that allocated page's nodeid would be
same with parameter nodeid which is used for allocation request. If
we discard this assumption, we can handle fallback_alloc() case
gracefully. So, this patch makes cache_grow() handle the page allocated
on arbitrary node and clean-up relevant code.
