I don't think this page_pool_nid_changed() called is needed, if you do
as I suggest below (nid = NUMA_NO_NODE).

You are implicitly assigning NUMA node id zero.

You likely want to assign pprm.nid to NUMA_NO_NODE

pprm.nid = NUMA_NO_NODE;

For most drivers it is recommended to assign ``NUMA_NO_NODE`` (value -1)
as the NUMA ID to ``pp_params.nid``. When ``CONFIG_NUMA`` is enabled
this setting will automatically select the (preferred) NUMA node (via
``numa_mem_id()``) based on where NAPI RX-processing is currently
running. The effect is that page_pool will only use recycled memory when
NUMA node match running CPU. This assumes CPU refilling driver RX-ring
will also run RX-NAPI.

If a driver want more control over the NUMA node memory selection,
drivers can assign (``pp_params.nid``) something else than
`NUMA_NO_NODE`` and runtime adjust via function ``page_pool_nid_changed()``.

I will update [1] with this info.
