With parallelization of hugetlb allocation across different threads, each thread works on a differnet node to allocate pages from, instead of all allocating from a common node h->next_nid_to_alloc. To address this, it's necessary to assign a separate next_nid_to_alloc for each thread. Consequently, the hstate_next_node_to_alloc and for_each_node_mask_to_alloc have been modified to directly accept a *next_nid_to_alloc parameter, ensuring thread-specific allocation and avoiding concurrent access issues.

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.
