Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/3] hugetlbfs: don't retry when pool page allocations start to fail
When allocating hugetlbfs pool pages via /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages,
the pages will be interleaved between all nodes of the system. If
nodes are not equal, it is quite possible for one node to fill up
before the others. When this happens, the code still attempts to
allocate pages from the full node. This results in calls to direct
reclaim and compaction which slow things down considerably.
When allocating pool pages, note the state of the previous allocation
for each node. If previous allocation failed, do not use the
aggressive retry algorithm on successive attempts. The allocation
will still succeed if there is memory available, but it will not try
as hard to free up memory.
