sparse_buffer_init() use memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() to allocate memory for page management structure, if memory allocation fails from specified node, it will fall back to allocate from other nodes. Normally, the page management structure will not exceed 2% of the total memory, but a large continuous block of allocation is needed. In most cases, memory allocation from the specified node will succeed, but a node memory become highly fragmented will fail. we expect to allocate memory base section rather than by allocating a large block of memory from other NUMA nodes Add memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw() for this situation, which allocate boot memory block on the exact node. If a large contiguous block memory allocate fail in sparse_buffer_init(), it will fall back to allocate small block memory base section.

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 Restructured Text 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.
