Subject: [RFC v2 1/4] mm: make alloc_pages_exact_node pass __GFP_THISNODE
The function alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in 6484eb3e2a81 ("page
allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid")
as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't allow the node id
to be -1. Unfortunately the name of the function can easily suggest that the
allocation is restricted to the given node and fails otherwise. In truth, the
node is only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags.
The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see 5265047ac301 ("mm,
thp: really limit transparent hugepage allocation to local node") and
b360edb43f8e ("mm, mempolicy: migrate_to_node should only migrate to node").
To prevent further mistakes and provide a convenience function for allocations
truly restricted to a node, this patch makes alloc_pages_exact_node() pass
__GFP_THISNODE to that effect. The previous implementation of
alloc_pages_exact_node() is copied as __alloc_pages_node() which implies it's
an optimized variant of __alloc_pages_node() not intended for general usage.
All three functions are described in the comment.
Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are adjusted as follows:
- those that explicitly pass __GFP_THISNODE keep calling
alloc_pages_exact_node(), but the flag is removed from the call
- others are converted to call __alloc_pages_node(). Some may still pass
__GFP_THISNODE if they serve as wrappers that get gfp_flags from higher
layers.
There's exception of sba_alloc_coherent() which open-codes the check for
nid == -1, so it is converted to use alloc_pages_node() instead. This means
it no longer performs some VM_BUG_ON checks, but otherwise the whole patch
makes no functional changes.

I've dropped non-mm guys from CC for now and marked as RFC until we agree on
the API.
