Commit 077fcf116c8c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local
node") restructured alloc_hugepage_vma() with the intent of only
allocating transparent hugepages locally when there was not an effective
interleave mempolicy.
alloc_pages_exact_node() does not limit the allocation to the single
node, however, but rather prefers it. This is because __GFP_THISNODE is
not set which would cause the node-local nodemask to be passed. Without
it, only a nodemask that prefers the local node is passed.
Fix this by passing __GFP_THISNODE and falling back to small pages when
the allocation fails.
Fixes: 077fcf116c8c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local node")
