[RFC PATCH V2 2/2] gfp: use the best near online node if the target node is offline

From: Gu Zheng
Date: Thu May 14 2015 - 07:53:25 EST


Since the change to the cpu <--> mapping (map the cpu to the physical
node for all possible at the boot), the node of cpu may be not present,
so we use the best near online node if the node is not present in the low
level allocation APIs.

---
V2: Maintaining a per-cpu cache about the alternative-node
only for x86 arch to avoid additional overhead.
