This is an important consideration because some zones, such as DMA or DMA32, represent relatively scarce resources. Linux chooses -a default zonelist order based on the sizes of the various zone types relative -to the total memory of the node and the total memory of the system. The -default zonelist order may be overridden using the numa_zonelist_order kernel -boot parameter or sysctl.

This means it tries to fallback to other zones +from the same node before using remote nodes which are ordered by NUMA distance. By default, Linux will attempt to satisfy memory allocation requests from the node to which the CPU that executes the request is assigned. Specifically, |
