When allocating hugetlbfs pool pages via /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages, the pages will be interleaved between all nodes of the system. If nodes are not equal, it is quite possible for one node to fill up before the others. When this happens, the code still attempts to allocate pages from the full node. This results in calls to direct reclaim and compaction which slow things down considerably. When allocating pool pages, note the state of the previous allocation for each node. If previous allocation failed, do not use the aggressive retry algorithm on successive attempts. The allocation will still succeed if there is memory available, but it will not try as hard to free up memory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
