mm/page_alloc: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating pages via alloc_contig*()
Patch series "mm: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating remote pages". __GFP_HARDWALL means that we will be respecting the cpuset of the caller when allocating a page. However, when we are migrating remote allocations (pages allocated from other context), the cpuset of the current context is irrelevant. For memory offlining + alloc_contig_*(), this is rather obvious. There might be other such page migration users, let's start with the obvious ones. This patch (of 2): We'll migrate pages allocated by other contexts; respecting the cpuset of the alloc_contig*() caller when allocating a migration target does not make sense. Drop the __GFP_HARDWALL. Note that in an ideal world, migration code could figure out the cpuset of the original context and take that into consideration.
