I agree that we should add this check, howver, I'm doubt about what
"kernel-imposed limit" in the manpage, does it really what your said
MAX_NUMNODES? or BITS_PER_LONG * BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES),
we used unsigned long to store node bitmap, so the limit should count in
multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, is this fare?

here, "nodes than supported" also means BITS_PER_LONG * BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES),
it check whether user specified more than BITS_PER_LONG * BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES)
is zero or no. And if "kernel-imposed limit" means MAX_NUMNODES this check is no need
at all, we can just check if maxnode > MAX_NUMNODES, for bits higher than maxnode is
invalid which should be masked after taken from user:
The old_nodes and new_nodes arguments are pointers to bit masks of
node numbers, with up to maxnode bits in each mask. These masks are
maintained as arrays of unsigned long integers (in the last long
integer, the bits beyond those specified by maxnode are ignored).
The maxnode argument is the maximum node number in the bit mask plus
one (this is the same as in mbind(2), but different from select(2)).
The get_nodes is just a common code which also used in set_mempolicy whoes ERRORS
of EINVAL is not the same as migrate_pages:
EINVAL
mode is invalid. Or, mode is MPOL_DEFAULT and nodemask is nonempty, or mode
is MPOL_BIND or MPOL_INTERLEAVE and nodemask is empty. Or, *maxnode specifies
more than a page worth of bits*. Or, nodemask specifies one or more node IDs
that are greater than the maximum supported node ID. Or, none of the node IDs
specified by nodemask are on-line and allowed by the process's current cpuset
context, or none of the specified nodes contain memory. Or, the mode argument
specified both MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES.
So get_nodes just check whether "nodemask specifies one or more node IDs that are
greater than the maximum supported node ID（BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES)）" as a
common part. If we want check "maxnode exceeds a kernel-imposed limit", maybe we
should add following in migrate_pages:
+ if (BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES) < BITS_TO_LONGS(maxnode)) {
+ err = -EINVAL;
+ goto out;
+ }
+
And for nodes_empty() check should also be need for this case or real empty nodes set.
Any opinion?
Thanks
