alloc_huge_page_nodemask tries to allocate from any numa node in the allowed node mask starting from lower numa nodes. This might lead to filling up those low NUMA nodes while others are not used. We can reduce this risk by introducing a concept of the preferred node similar to what we have in the regular page allocator. We will start allocating from the preferred nid and then iterate over all allowed nodes in the zonelist order until we try them all. This is mimicing the page allocator logic except it operates on per-node mempools. dequeue_huge_page_vma already does this so distill the zonelist logic into a more generic dequeue_huge_page_nodemask and use it in alloc_huge_page_nodemask. This will allow us to use proper per numa distance fallback also for alloc_huge_page_node which can use alloc_huge_page_nodemask now and we can get rid of alloc_huge_page_node helper which doesn't have any user anymore.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
