This is causing problems on some of my machines.
I see NODE_DATA allocations falling back to node 0 when they shouldn't,
or didn't previously.
eg, before:
57990190: (116011251): numa: NODE_DATA [mem 0xfffe4980-0xfffebfff]
58152042: (116373087): numa: NODE_DATA [mem 0x8fff90980-0x8fff97fff]
after:
16356872061562: (6296877055): numa: NODE_DATA [mem 0xfffe4980-0xfffebfff]
16356872079279: (6296894772): numa: NODE_DATA [mem 0xfffcd300-0xfffd497f]
16356872096376: (6296911869): numa: NODE_DATA(1) on node 0
On some of my other systems it does that, and then panics because it
can't allocate anything at all:
[ 0.000000] numa: NODE_DATA [mem 0x7ffcaee80-0x7ffcb3fff]
[ 0.000000] numa: NODE_DATA [mem 0x7ffc99d00-0x7ffc9ee7f]
[ 0.000000] numa: NODE_DATA(1) on node 0
[ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Cannot allocate 20864 bytes for node 16 data
[ 0.000000] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.0.0-rc4-gccN-next-20190201-gdc4c899 #1

So there's something going wrong there, I haven't had time to dig into
it though (Sunday night here).
cheers
