Yes, bugging on just because we race with memory hotplug or use stale node number is not appropriate because the fallback is straightforward. A warning should help to identify and fix those place. > > Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka > Acked-by: David Rientjes > Acked-by: Johannes Weiner > Acked-by: Christoph Lameter > --- > include/linux/gfp.h | 10 +++++----- > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/include/linux/gfp.h b/include/linux/gfp.h > index d2c142b..4a12cae2 100644 > --- a/include/linux/gfp.h > +++ b/include/linux/gfp.h > @@ -310,23 +310,23 @@ __alloc_pages(gfp_t gfp_mask, unsigned int order, > static inline struct page * > __alloc_pages_node(int nid, gfp_t gfp_mask, unsigned int order) > { > - VM_BUG_ON(nid < 0 || nid >= MAX_NUMNODES || !node_online(nid)); > + VM_BUG_ON(nid < 0 || nid >= MAX_NUMNODES); > + VM_WARN_ON(!node_online(nid)); > > return __alloc_pages(gfp_mask, order, node_zonelist(nid, gfp_mask)); > } > > /* > * Allocate pages, preferring the node given as nid.
