How can we can make sure false positive about zone and NUMA? I mean DMA zone is short in system so VM notify to user and user free all memory of NORMAL zone because he can't know what pages live in any zones. NUMA is ditto. -- Kind regards, Minchan Kim -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
