[PATCH] mem-hotplug: use GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE and alloc from next node in alloc_migrate_target()

From: Xishi Qiu
Date: Wed Jul 13 2016 - 22:37:29 EST


alloc_migrate_target() is called from migrate_pages(), and the page
is always from user space, so we can add __GFP_HIGHMEM directly.

Second, when we offline a node, the new page should alloced from other
nodes instead of the current node, because re-migrate is a waste of
time.
