Subject: [PATCH 2/3] slub: fallback to node_to_mem_node() node if allocating on memoryless node

From: Nishanth Aravamudan <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2014 12:05:14 -0700

From: Joonsoo Kim <[email-masked]>

Update the SLUB code to search for partial slabs on the nearest node
with memory in the presence of memoryless nodes. Additionally, do not
consider it to be an ALLOC_NODE_MISMATCH (and deactivate the slab) when
a memoryless-node specified allocation goes off-node.
