Koichiro Den d0f14f7ee0 hugetlb: prioritize surplus allocation from current node
Previously, surplus allocations triggered by mmap were typically made from
the node where the process was running.  On a page fault, the area was
reliably dequeued from the hugepage_freelists for that node.  However,
since commit 003af997c8 ("hugetlb: force allocating surplus hugepages on
mempolicy allowed nodes"), dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma() may fall back to
other nodes unnecessarily even if there is no MPOL_BIND policy, causing
folios to be dequeued from nodes other than the current one.

Also, allocating from the node where the current process is running is
likely to result in a performance win, as mmap-ing processes often touch
the area not so long after allocation.  This change minimizes surprises
for users relying on the previous behavior while maintaining the benefit
introduced by the commit.

So, prioritize the node the current process is running on when possible.

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 reStructuredText 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.
