Hi, this is an alternative fix for [1] which is currently sitting in the mm tree. I believe that the patch 1 is better because it allows to get rid of __GFP_OTHER_NODE (patch 2) and it uses less branches as well. Vlastimil has also shown [2] that the patch from Jia He is not fully compatible with the code before the patch it tries to fix. I do not think that the issue is serious enough to warrant stable tree inclusion.
Can we have these patches merged instead? [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1481522347-20393-1-git-send-email-hejia...@gmail.com [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/233ed490-afb9-4644-6d84-c9f888882...@suse.cz
