Subject[PATCH] Allocate memory cgroup structures in local nodes v2
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

[Andrew: since this is a regression and a very simple fix
could you still consider it for .39? Thanks]

dde79e005a769 added a regression that the memory cgroup data structures
all end up in node 0 because the first attempt at allocating them
would not pass in a node hint. Since the initialization runs on CPU #0
it would all end up node 0. This is a problem on large memory systems,
where node 0 would lose a lot of memory.

Change the alloc_pages_exact to alloc_pages_exact_node. This will
still fall back to other nodes if not enough memory is available.

[RED-PEN: right now it would fall back first before trying
vmalloc_node. Probably not the best strategy ... But I left it like
that for now.]

v2: Fix argument order. Thanks David Rientjes.
