Against: 2.6.33-mmotm-100302-1838 Patch: in-kernel profiling -- support memoryless nodes. Another example of using numa_mem_id() to support memoryless nodes efficiently. I stumbled across this when trying to profile the kernel in the memoryless nodes configuration. A quick look at other usages of numa_node_id() and cpu_to_node() for explicit local allocations indicates that there are several other places that could be problematic for systems with memoryless nodes that can also be addressed with this simple substitution: In-kernel profiling requires that we be able to allocate "local" memory for each cpu. Use "cpu_to_mem()" instead of "cpu_to_node()" to support memoryless nodes. Depends on the "numa_mem_id()" patch.
