[patch -mm] mm, page_alloc: warn_alloc nodemask is NULL when cpusets are disabled

From: David Rientjes
Date: Wed Jan 18 2017 - 16:51:33 EST


The patch "mm, page_alloc: warn_alloc print nodemask" implicitly sets the
allocation nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed when there is no
effective mempolicy. cpuset_current_mems_allowed is only effective when
cpusets are enabled, which is also printed by warn_alloc(), so setting
the nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed is redundant and prevents
debugging issues where ac->nodemask is not set properly in the page
allocator.

This provides better debugging output since
cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed() is already provided.
