memcg: allocate memory cgroup structures in local nodes
Commit dde79e005a769 ("page_cgroup: reduce allocation overhead for page_cgroup array for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM") added a regression that the memory cgroup data structures all end up in node 0 because the first attempt at allocating them would not pass in a node hint. Since the initialization runs on CPU #0 it would all end up node 0. This is a problem on large memory systems, where node 0 would lose a lot of memory. Change the alloc_pages_exact() to alloc_pages_exact_nid(). This will still fall back to other nodes if not enough memory is available. [ RED-PEN: right now it would fall back first before trying vmalloc_node. Probably not the best strategy ... But I left it like that for now. ] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Reported-by: Doug Nelson Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Reviewed-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
