Li Xinhai 953f064aa6 mm/hugetlb: try preferred node first when alloc gigantic page from cma
Since commit cf11e85fc0 ("mm: hugetlb: optionally allocate gigantic
hugepages using cma"), the gigantic page would be allocated from node
which is not the preferred node, although there are pages available from
that node.  The reason is that the nid parameter has been ignored in
alloc_gigantic_page().

Besides, the __GFP_THISNODE also need be checked if user required to
alloc only from the preferred node.

After this patch, the preferred node is tried first before other allowed
nodes, and don't try to allocate from other nodes if __GFP_THISNODE is
specified.  If user don't specify the preferred node, the current node
will be used as preferred node, which makes sure consistent behavior of
allocating gigantic and non-gigantic hugetlb page.

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.
