mm/vmalloc: introduce alloc_pages_bulk_array_mempolicy to accelerate memory allocation
Commit ffb29b1c255a ("mm/vmalloc: fix numa spreading for large hash tables") can cause significant performance regressions in some situations as Andrew mentioned in [1]. The main situation is vmalloc, vmalloc will allocate pages with NUMA_NO_NODE by default, that will result in alloc page one by one; In order to solve this, __alloc_pages_bulk and mempolicy should be considered at the same time. 1) If node is specified in memory allocation request, it will alloc all pages by __alloc_pages_bulk. 2) If interleaving allocate memory, it will cauculate how many pages should be allocated in each node, and use __alloc_pages_bulk to alloc pages in each node.
