It is because khugepaged allocates pages with __GFP_THISNODE, but the preferred node is offlined. The warning was even stronger before commit 8addc2d00fe17 ("mm: do not warn on offline nodes unless the specific node is explicitly requested"). The commit softened the warning for __GFP_THISNODE.

But this warning seems not quite useful because: * There is no guarantee the node is online for __GFP_THISNODE context for all the callsites. * Kernel just fails the allocation regardless the warning, and it looks all callsites handle the allocation failure gracefully.

So, removing the warning seems like the good move.
