[PATCH] mm: fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags
Two changes to the setting of the ALLOC_CPUSET flag in
mm/page_alloc.c:__alloc_pages()
- A bug fix - the "ignoring mins" case should not be honoring ALLOC_CPUSET.
This case of all cases, since it is handling a request that will free up
more memory than is asked for (exiting tasks, e.g.) should be allowed to
escape cpuset constraints when memory is tight.
- A logic change to make it simpler. Honor cpusets even on GFP_ATOMIC
(!wait) requests. With this, cpuset confinement applies to all requests
except ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, so that in a subsequent cleanup patch, I can
remove the ALLOC_CPUSET flag entirely. Since I don't know any real reason
this logic has to be either way, I am choosing the path of the simplest
code.
