[v2 PATCH 2/3] mm/mempolicy: don't handle MPOL_LOCAL like a fake MPOL_PREFERRED policy

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

 



MPOL_LOCAL policy has been setup as a real policy, but it is still
handled like a faked POL_PREFERRED policy with one internal
MPOL_F_LOCAL flag bit set, and there are many places having to
judge the real 'prefer' or the 'local' policy, which are quite
confusing.

In current code, there are 4 cases that MPOL_LOCAL are used:
1. user specifies 'local' policy
2. user specifies 'prefer' policy, but with empty nodemask
3. system 'default' policy is used
4. 'prefer' policy + valid 'preferred' node with MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES
   flag set, and when it is 'rebind' to a nodemask which doesn't
   contains the 'preferred' node, it will perform as 'local' policy

So make 'local' a real policy instead of a fake 'prefer' one, and kill
MPOL_F_LOCAL bit, which can greatly reduce the confusion for code
reading.

For case 4, in theory it used to be able to be changed back to
'prefer' policy if it is rebind to a valid nodemask for the second
time, but that will involves dirty tricky manipulation and is kind
of over-engineering, as 'perfer' is just a hint and if it is once
rebind to an invalid nodemask and acts as 'local', it doesn't make
much sense to stick to underlying 'prefer' policy. So just handle
it as 'local' policy.
