Currently, memblock has several internal functions with overlapping functionality. They all call memblock_find_in_range_node() to find free memory and then reserve the allocated range and mark it with kmemleak. However, there is difference in the allocation constraints and in fallback strategies. The allocations returning physical address first attempt to find free memory on the specified node within mirrored memory regions, then retry on the same node without the requirement for memory mirroring and finally fall back to all available memory. The allocations returning virtual address start with clamping the allowed range to memblock.current_limit, attempt to allocate from the specified node from regions with mirroring and with user defined minimal address. If such allocation fails, next attempt is done with node restriction lifted. Next, the allocation is retried with minimal address reset to zero and at last without the requirement for mirrored regions. Let's consolidate various fallbacks handling and make them more consistent for physical and virtual variants. Most of the fallback handling is moved to memblock_alloc_range_nid() and it now handles node and mirror fallbacks. The memblock_alloc_internal() uses memblock_alloc_range_nid() to get a physical address of the allocated range and converts it to virtual address. The fallback for allocation below the specified minimal address remains in memblock_alloc_internal() because memblock_alloc_range_nid() is used by CMA with exact requirement for lower bounds. The memblock_phys_alloc_nid() function is completely dropped as it is not used anywhere outside memblock and its only usage can be replaced by a call to memblock_alloc_range_nid().

README
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.
