We can't change this unfortunately, it would break old binaries (like libnuma) which assume the old interface. The only way to fix it would be to add a new system call and keep the old one for compatibility, but that would seem like overkill just for this. You always have to add +1, sorry. Perhaps it could be better documented. -Andi -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
