[PATCH] kfence: skip __GFP_THISNODE allocations on NUMA systems
From: Marco Elver
Date: Fri Jan 24 2025 - 07:02:20 EST
On NUMA systems, __GFP_THISNODE indicates that an allocation _must_ be
on a particular node, and failure to allocate on the desired node will
result in a failed allocation.
Skip __GFP_THISNODE allocations if we are running on a NUMA system,
since KFENCE can't guarantee which node its pool pages are allocated on.
