[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 102/104] ovs: do not allocate memory from offline numa node

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Mon Oct 26 2015 - 09:46:04 EST


3.16.7-ckt19 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 598c12d0ba6de9060f04999746eb1e015774044b upstream.

When openvswitch tries allocate memory from offline numa node 0:
stats = kmem_cache_alloc_node(flow_stats_cache, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO, 0)
It catches VM_BUG_ON(nid < 0 || nid >= MAX_NUMNODES || !node_online(nid))
[ replaced with VM_WARN_ON(!node_online(nid)) recently ] in linux/gfp.h
This patch disables numa affinity in this case.
