[RFC PATCH 07/11] mm/mempolicy: add task mempolicy syscall variants

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add system calls to allow one task to view or change another task's
mempolicy settings. The task mempolicy has traditionally been a feature
that could only be changed by the task itself.  This creates issues
with task migrations between cgroups where cpusets may differ.

Attempts were made to allow policy nodemasks to be shifted via a flag
(MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES), but this is not foolproof.

Additionally, as new policies emerge (like weighted interleave), it
may be necessary to allow not just the policy to be changed, but
individual attributes of the policy (such as a node weight) in
response to other system events - such as memory hotplug.

If pid is 0, this behaves the same as the original mempolicy syscalls,
otherwise this interface requires CAP_SYS_NICE.

Syscalls in this patch:
	sys_set_task_mempolicy
	sys_get_task_mempolicy
	sys_set_task_mempolicy_home_node
	sys_task_mbind
