[PATCH V2] mm/thp: Allocate transparent hugepages on local node

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V
Date: Mon Dec 01 2014 - 00:47:07 EST


This make sure that we try to allocate hugepages from local node if
allowed by mempolicy. If we can't, we fallback to small page allocation
based on mempolicy. This is based on the observation that allocating pages
on local node is more beneficial that allocating hugepages on remote node.
