Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] kfence-skip-__gfp_thisnode-allocations-on-numa-systems.patch removed from -mm tree
Message-Id: <20250201115413.264AFC4CED3@smtp.kernel.org>
Precedence: bulk


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: kfence: skip __GFP_THISNODE allocations on NUMA systems
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kfence-skip-__gfp_thisnode-allocations-on-numa-systems.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: kfence: skip __GFP_THISNODE allocations on NUMA systems
Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2025 13:01:38 +0100

On NUMA systems, __GFP_THISNODE indicates that an allocation _must_ be on
a particular node, and failure to allocate on the desired node will result
in a failed allocation.

Skip __GFP_THISNODE allocations if we are running on a NUMA system, since
KFENCE can't guarantee which node its pool pages are allocated on.
