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.
