I've noticed that there is no interface exposed by CMA which would let me to declare contigous memory on particular NUMA node. This patchset adds the ability to try to allocate contiguous memory on a specific node. It will fallback to other nodes if the specified one doesn't work. Implement a new method for declaring contigous memory on particular node and keep cma_declare_contiguous() as a wrapper.

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.
