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?
