My patch is useless (fascinating history of the changelog there through).
fallback_alloc calls kmem_getpages without GFP_THISNODE. This means that
alloc_pages_node() will try to allocate on the current node but fallback
to neighboring node if nothing is there....

Sure, but I was referring to the scenario where current node _has_
pages available but no ->nodelists. Olaf, did you try it?

Does not help.
