Re: [PATCH] mm: fix panic in __alloc_pages

[Alexey Makhalov]

I’m going to send patch v2, with node_online check moved to caller (pcpu_alloc_pages() function)
as was suggested by David. It seems as it is only one place which passes present but offlined
node to alloc-pages_node(). Moving node online check to the caller keeps hot path (alloc_pages)
simple and performant.
