oom-kill: fix NUMA constraint check with nodemask
Fix node-oriented allocation handling in oom-kill.c I myself think of this
as a bugfix not as an ehnancement.
In these days, things are changed as
- alloc_pages() eats nodemask as its arguments, __alloc_pages_nodemask().
- mempolicy don't maintain its own private zonelists.
(And cpuset doesn't use nodemask for __alloc_pages_nodemask())
So, current oom-killer's check function is wrong.
This patch does
- check nodemask, if nodemask && nodemask doesn't cover all
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], this is CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY.
- Scan all zonelist under nodemask, if it hits cpuset's wall
this faiulre is from cpuset.
And
- modifies the caller of out_of_memory not to call oom if __GFP_THISNODE.
This doesn't change "current" behavior. If callers use __GFP_THISNODE
it should handle "page allocation failure" by itself.
- handle __GFP_NOFAIL+__GFP_THISNODE path.
This is something like a FIXME but this gfpmask is not used now.
