[PATCH 2/2] mm: get rid of __GFP_OTHER_NODE

Michal Hocko
2017-01-02T15:31:12Z

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

The flag has been introduced by 78afd5612deb ("mm: add __GFP_OTHER_NODE
flag") to allow proper accounting of remote node allocations done by
kernel daemons on behalf of a process - e.g. khugepaged.

After "mm: fix remote numa hits statistics" we do not need and actually
use the flag so we can safely remove it because all allocations which
are satisfied from their "home" node are accounted properly.
