One way to go forward might be to check the size of the per node pool and warn if it grows over a certain threshold of the available memory on that node. I do not have a good idea what would be that threshold, though. It will certainly depend on workloads. I can also imagine that somebody might want to dedicate the full numa node for hugetlb pages and still be OK so take this suggestion with some reserve. It is hard to protect against misconfigurations in general but maybe you will find some way here. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
