[PATCH] page_alloc: skip cpuset enforcement for lower zone allocations (v5)

2014-05-29 Thread Marcelo Tosatti
Zone specific allocations, such as GFP_DMA32, should not be restricted to cpusets allowed node list: the zones which such allocations demand might be contained in particular nodes outside the cpuset node list. Necessary for the following usecase: - driver which requires zone specific memory (such
