When a page allocation failure occurs, show_mem() is called to dump the state of the VM so users may understand what happened to get into that condition. This output, however, can be extremely verbose. In irq context, it may result in significant delays that incur NMI watchdog timeouts when the machine is large (we use CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8 here to define a "large" machine since the length of the show_mem() output is proportional to the number of possible nodes). This patch suppresses the show_mem() call in irq context when the kernel has CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8.
