+ *
+ * @node: a valid node ID to start the search from.
+ * @mask: a pointer to a nodemask representing the allowed nodes.
+ *
+ * This function iterates over all nodes in @mask and calculates the
+ * distance from the starting @node, then it returns the node ID that is
+ * the closest to @node, or MAX_NUMNODES if no node is found.
+ *
+ * Note that @node must be a valid node ID usable with node_distance(),
+ * providing an invalid node ID (e.g., NUMA_NO_NODE) may result in crashes
+ * or unexpected behavior.
