The quilt patch titled Subject: kfence: skip __GFP_THISNODE allocations on NUMA systems has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kfence-skip-__gfp_thisnode-allocations-on-numa-systems.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Marco Elver elver@google.com Subject: kfence: skip __GFP_THISNODE allocations on NUMA systems Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2025 13:01:38 +0100
On NUMA systems, __GFP_THISNODE indicates that an allocation _must_ be on a particular node, and failure to allocate on the desired node will result in a failed allocation.
Skip __GFP_THISNODE allocations if we are running on a NUMA system, since KFENCE can't guarantee which node its pool pages are allocated on.
