Subject: [patch 2/2] mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify
GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback
to remote nodes, and so no direct reclaim is invoked. There are many
current users that only want node exclusiveness but still want reclaim
to make the allocation happen. Convert them over to __GFP_THISNODE
and update the documentation to clarify GFP_THISNODE semantics.
