This is intended (WAI)

What about the NUMA policies of the current thread ?

Has NUMA_NO_NODE behavior changed recently?

What means : "it may creates" ? Please be more specific.

We prefer the allocation to succeed, instead of failing if the current
NUMA node has no available memory.

Please check:

grep . /sys/devices/system/node/node*/numastat

Are you going to change ~700 uses of  NUMA_NO_NODE in the kernel ?

Just curious.
