commit 40366bd70bbbbf822ca224dfc227a8c8e868c44f upstream.

Calling cma_declare_contiguous_nid() with false exact_nid for per-numa
reservation can easily cause cma leak and various confusion.  For example,
mm/hugetlb.c is trying to reserve per-numa cma for gigantic pages.  But it
can easily leak cma and make users confused when system has memoryless
nodes.

In case the system has 4 numa nodes, and only numa node0 has memory.  if
we set hugetlb_cma=4G in bootargs, mm/hugetlb.c will get 4 cma areas for 4
different numa nodes.  since exact_nid=false in current code, all 4 numa
nodes will get cma successfully from node0, but hugetlb_cma[1 to 3] will
never be available to hugepage will only allocate memory from
hugetlb_cma[0].

In case the system has 4 numa nodes, both numa node0&2 has memory, other
nodes have no memory.  if we set hugetlb_cma=4G in bootargs, mm/hugetlb.c
will get 4 cma areas for 4 different numa nodes.  since exact_nid=false in
current code, all 4 numa nodes will get cma successfully from node0 or 2,
but hugetlb_cma[1] and [3] will never be available to hugepage as
mm/hugetlb.c will only allocate memory from hugetlb_cma[0] and
hugetlb_cma[2].  This causes permanent leak of the cma areas which are
supposed to be used by memoryless node.

Of cource we can workaround the issue by letting mm/hugetlb.c scan all cma
areas in alloc_gigantic_page() even node_mask includes node0 only.  that
means when node_mask includes node0 only, we can get page from
hugetlb_cma[1] to hugetlb_cma[3].  But this will cause kernel crash in
free_gigantic_page() while it wants to free page by:
cma_release(hugetlb_cma[page_to_nid(page)], page, 1 << order)

On the other hand, exact_nid=false won't consider numa distance, it might
be not that useful to leverage cma areas on remote nodes.  I feel it is
much simpler to make exact_nid true to make everything clear.  After that,
memoryless nodes won't be able to reserve per-numa CMA from other nodes
which have memory.
