alloc_pages_vma() may try to allocate THP page on the local NUMA node first: page = __alloc_pages_node(hpage_node, gfp | __GFP_THISNODE | __GFP_NORETRY, order); And if the allocation fails it retries allowing remote memory: if (!page && (gfp & __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM)) page = __alloc_pages_node(hpage_node, gfp, order); However, this retry allocation completely ignores memory policy nodemask allowing allocation to escape restrictions.

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.
