H A Dmempolicy.cdiff b360edb43f8ed50aa7b8c9aae7d7557a1a6e32c8 Tue Apr 14 17:46:52 CDT 2015 David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> mm, mempolicy: migrate_to_node should only migrate to node

migrate_to_node() is intended to migrate a page from one source node to
a target node.

Today, migrate_to_node() could end up migrating to any node, not only
the target node. This is because the page migration allocator,
new_node_page() does not pass __GFP_THISNODE to
alloc_pages_exact_node(). This causes the target node to be preferred
but allows fallback to any other node in order of affinity.

Prevent this by allocating with __GFP_THISNODE. If memory is not
available, -ENOMEM will be returned as appropriate.
