[PATCH v2 1/3] mm: Remove unused exact_nid parameter from memmap_alloc()
From: Kaitao Cheng
Date: Sat Sep 19 2026 - 09:54:10 EST
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@xxxxxxxxxx>
Commit ffe55393137c ("mm/sparse: remove sparse buffer pre-allocation
mechanism") removed sparse_buffer_init(), which was the only caller of
memmap_alloc() that passed true for exact_nid.
All remaining callers pass false, leaving the exact-node allocation
branch unreachable. Remove the exact_nid parameter and unconditionally
use memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw().
This has no functional impact.
