- * This function allocates a page from the kernel page pool and applies
- * a NUMA policy associated with the VMA or the current process.
- * When VMA is not NULL caller must read-lock the mmap_lock of the
- * mm_struct of the VMA to prevent it from going away. Should be used for

- * NULL when no page can be allocated.
+ * Return: The page on success or NULL if allocation fails.
