If it goes that way (after a couple of years) we hopefully have matured things a bit and have experience how to configure the special NUMA nodes in the system to behave properly with an accellerator. I think the simplest way is to just go ahead create the NUMA node approach and see how much can be covered with the existing NUMA features. Then work from there to simplify and enhance. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
