Feng Tang 8ca1b5a498 mm/page_alloc: detect allocation forbidden by cpuset and bail out early
There was a report that starting an Ubuntu in docker while using cpuset
to bind it to movable nodes (a node only has movable zone, like a node
for hotplug or a Persistent Memory node in normal usage) will fail due
to memory allocation failure, and then OOM is involved and many other
innocent processes got killed.

It can be reproduced with command:

    $ docker run -it --rm --cpuset-mems 4 ubuntu:latest bash -c "grep Mems_allowed /proc/self/status"

(where node 4 is a movable node)

The reason is that in this case, the target cpuset nodes only have
movable zone, while the creation of an OS in docker sometimes needs to
allocate memory in non-movable zones (dma/dma32/normal) like
GFP_HIGHUSER, and the cpuset limit forbids the allocation, then
out-of-memory killing is involved even when normal nodes and movable
nodes both have many free memory.

The OOM killer cannot help to resolve the situation as there is no
usable memory for the request in the cpuset scope.  The only reasonable
measure to take is to fail the allocation right away and have the caller
to deal with it.

So add a check for cases like this in the slowpath of allocation, and
bail out early returning NULL for the allocation.

As page allocation is one of the hottest path in kernel, this check will
hurt all users with sane cpuset configuration, add a static branch check
and detect the abnormal config in cpuset memory binding setup so that
the extra check cost in page allocation is not paid by everyone.

[thanks to Micho Hocko and David Rientjes for suggesting not handling
 it inside OOM code, adding cpuset check, refining comments]
