of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: perf/x86/intel: use higher-level allocator API
Date: Fri, 03 Jul 2026 12:31:48 +0000
The difference between __alloc_pages_node() and alloc_pages_node() is that
the latter allows you to pass NUMA_NO_NODE.
The former is going away and the latter works fine here so switch over.
No functional change intended.
