From: Shivansh Dhiman <redacted> Add NUMA mempolicy support to the filemap allocation path by introducing new APIs that take a mempolicy argument: - filemap_grab_folio_mpol() - filemap_alloc_folio_mpol() - __filemap_get_folio_mpol()
You don't use these APIs in this series, so I can't evaludate whether any of my suggestiosn for improving this patch would actually work. NACK. Introduce the APIs *with a user*. Come on, this isn't a new requirement.
