FIND_NEXT_BEST_NODE(9) Memory Management in Linux FIND_NEXT_BEST_NODE(9)
NAME
find_next_best_node - find the next node that should appear in a given node's fallback list
SYNOPSIS
int find_next_best_node(int node, nodemask_t * used_node_mask);
ARGUMENTS
node
node whose fallback list we're appending
used_node_mask
nodemask_t of already used nodes
DESCRIPTION
We use a number of factors to determine which is the next node that should appear on a given node's fallback list. The node should not have
appeared already in node's fallback list, and it should be the next closest node according to the distance array (which contains arbitrary
distance values from each node to each node in the system), and should also prefer nodes with no CPUs, since presumably they'll have very
little allocation pressure on them otherwise. It returns -1 if no node is found.
