[PATCH v5 01/36] mm: refactor find_next_best_node to find_next_best_node_in
From: Gregory Price
Date: Mon Jul 20 2026 - 15:38:39 EST
find_next_best_node() picks the next-closest node for a fallback list
from the full N_MEMORY set. Refactor it into find_next_best_node_in(),
which takes an explicit candidates nodemask.
This enables building fallback lists with non-N_MEMORY candidates.
No functional change: every caller still selects from N_MEMORY.
