We don't need to check whether the node is memoryless numa node before calling allocator interface. SLUB(and SLAB,SLOB) relies on the page allocator to pick a node. Page allocator should deal with memoryless nodes just fine. It has zonelists constructed for each possible nodes. And it will automatically fall back into a node which is closest to the requested node. As long as __GFP_THISNODE is not enforced of course. The code comments of kmem_cache_alloc_node() of SLAB also showed this: * Fallback to other node is possible if __GFP_THISNODE is not set. blk-mq code doesn't set __GFP_THISNODE, so we can remove the calling of local_memory_node().

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
