constrained_alloc() calculates the size of the oom domain by using node_spanned_pages which is incorrect because this is the full range of the physical memory range that the numa node occupies rather than the memory that backs that range which is represented by node_present_pages. Sparsely populated nodes (e.g. after memory hot remove or simply sparse due to memory layout) can have really a large difference between the two. This shouldn't really cause any real user observable problems because the oom calculates a ratio against totalpages and used memory cannot exceed present pages but it is confusing and wrong from code point of view.

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 Restructured Text 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.
