Subject[PATCH] mm: mempolicy: fix policy_nodemask() for MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY case
Date
policy_nodemask() is supposed to be returned a nodemask representing a mempolicy
for filtering nodes for page allocation, which is a hard restriction (see the user
of allowed_mems_nr() in hugetlb.c). However, MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY is a preferred
mode not a hard restriction. Now it breaks the user of HugeTLB. Remove it from
policy_nodemask() to fix it, which will not affect current users of policy_nodemask()
since all of the users already have handled the case of MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY before
calling it. BTW, it is found by code inspection.

Fixes: b27abaccf8e8 ("mm/mempolicy: add MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY for multiple preferred nodes")
