fall back to the same zone type on a different node, or to a different zone
type on the same node. This is an important consideration because some zones,
such as DMA or DMA32, represent relatively scarce resources. Linux chooses
-a default zonelist order based on the sizes of the various zone types relative

By default, Linux will attempt to satisfy memory allocation requests from the
node to which the CPU that executes the request is assigned. Specifically,
