Chen Wandun ffb29b1c25 mm/vmalloc: fix numa spreading for large hash tables
Eric Dumazet reported a strange numa spreading info in [1], and found
commit 121e6f3258 ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings") introduced
this issue [2].

Dig into the difference before and after this patch, page allocation has
some difference:

before:
  alloc_large_system_hash
    __vmalloc
      __vmalloc_node(..., NUMA_NO_NODE, ...)
        __vmalloc_node_range
          __vmalloc_area_node
            alloc_page /* because NUMA_NO_NODE, so choose alloc_page branch */
              alloc_pages_current
                alloc_page_interleave /* can be proved by print policy mode */

after:
  alloc_large_system_hash
    __vmalloc
      __vmalloc_node(..., NUMA_NO_NODE, ...)
        __vmalloc_node_range
          __vmalloc_area_node
            alloc_pages_node /* choose nid by nuam_mem_id() */
              __alloc_pages_node(nid, ....)

So after commit 121e6f3258 ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings"),
it will allocate memory in current node instead of interleaving allocate
memory.

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.
