Hi Andrew and mm experts
It seems recent kernels lost the NUMA spreading of large hash tables
allocated at boot time.
Does it ring a bell, was it intentional ?
Thanks

I did a bisection and it went back to the following commit [1]
Probably the removal of
- if (node == NUMA_NO_NODE)
- page = alloc_page(gfp_mask);
- else
- page = alloc_pages_node(node, gfp_mask, 0);
had something to do with the regression.
Things got a little bit more complicated after the introduction of
bulk allocations.

commit 121e6f3258fe393e22c36f61a319be8a4f2c05ae

mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings
Support huge page vmalloc mappings. Config option HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC
enables support on architectures that define HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP and
supports PMD sized vmap mappings.
vmalloc will attempt to allocate PMD-sized pages if allocating PMD size or
larger, and fall back to small pages if that was unsuccessful.
Architectures must ensure that any arch specific vmalloc allocations that
require PAGE_SIZE mappings (e.g., module allocations vs strict module rwx)
use the VM_NOHUGE flag to inhibit larger mappings.
This can result in more internal fragmentation and memory overhead for a
given allocation, an option nohugevmalloc is added to disable at boot.
