mm, mempolicy: migrate_to_node should only migrate to node

Browse source

migrate_to_node() is intended to migrate a page from one source node to
a target node.

Today, migrate_to_node() could end up migrating to any node, not only
the target node.  This is because the page migration allocator,
new_node_page() does not pass __GFP_THISNODE to
alloc_pages_exact_node().  This causes the target node to be preferred
but allows fallback to any other node in order of affinity.

Prevent this by allocating with __GFP_THISNODE.  If memory is not
available, -ENOMEM will be returned as appropriate.
