I am not sure which code you are talking about. git grep shows me 2 places in blk-mq code (e.g. bffed457160ab) and that looks quite bogus to me. Bring that up with the respective maintainer and Raghavendra. The changelog doesn't really describe any problem, if there is any. But from the allocator semantic point of view memory less nodes are to be expected and the allocator should fallback to the proper node. As long as __GFP_THISNODE is not enforced of course. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
