When restarting after searching below the cached node fails, resetting the start point to the anchor node is often overly pessimistic. If allocations are made with mixed limits - particularly in the case of the opportunistic 32-bit allocation for PCI devices - this could mean significant time wasted walking through the whole populated upper range just to reach the initial limit. We can improve on that by implementing a proper tree traversal to find the first node above the relevant limit, and set the exact start point.

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.
