Subject: Re: [PATCH 5/8] Use correct numa policy node for transparent hugepages

> From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>
> 
> Pass down the correct node for a transparent hugepage allocation.
> Most callers continue to use the current node, however the hugepaged
> daemon now uses the previous node of the first to be collapsed page
> instead. This ensures that khugepaged does not mess up local memory
> for an existing process which uses local policy.
> 
> The choice of node is somewhat primitive currently: it just
> uses the node of the first page in the pmd range. An alternative
> would be to look at multiple pages and use the most popular
> node. I used the simplest variant for now which should work
> well enough for the case of all pages being on the same node.
