[PATCH 05/12] mm, page_alloc: Remove unecessary recheck of nodemask

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Mon Aug 24 2015 - 08:12:00 EST


An allocation request will either use the given nodemask or the cpuset
current tasks mems_allowed. A cpuset retry will recheck the callers nodemask
and while it's trivial overhead during an extremely rare operation, also
unnecessary. This patch fixes it.
