Description
The NUMA allocator resizes its lgroup chunks proportionally to the allocation rate in each chunk. However, in case when allocation fails the hole which it left is still considered to be a free space and is not taken into account when computing the allocation rate. Considering that the lgroup chunk can get as small as page it is possible that the allocation will fail immediately thus producting the allocation rate value of zero. This in turn would prevent the chunk from growing.

N/A
Evaluation
We should account for failed allocation requests. If the allocation requestion fails in an lgroup chunk it should be considered fully used.
