From 9ff1d9ff3c2c8ab3feaeb2e8056a07ca293f7bde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 11:29:04 +0100 Subject: sched/numa: Check current->mm before allocating NUMA faults task_numa_placement checks current->mm but after buffers for faults have already been uselessly allocated. Move the check earlier.
