The slab allocator observes the task's NUMA policy in various places such as allocating slab pages. Large kmalloc() allocations used to do that too, until an unintended change byc4cab55752("mm/slab_common: cleanup kmalloc_large()") resulted in ignoring mempolicy and just preferring the local node. Restore the NUMA policy support.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
