I've had these on my TODO list for a while. Want to get the ball
rolling on discussing the proposed patches.
The following series of patch are updates to the numa memory
policy man pages in the 3.05 release. These patches update the
man pages to cover recent changes in mempolicy behavior,
including:
1) support of MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED by get_mempolicy()
2) support of "mode flags" by {set|get}_mempolicy() and mbind().
3) set_mempolicy() and mbind() now silently ignore any specified
nodes outside of the process' cpuset context, as long as at least
one valid node is specified. With the MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES mode
flag, we even allow a nodemask with NO valid nodes, and revert
to local allocation. Try to explain that!
4) MPOL_BIND with multiple nodes in nodemask will now attempt to
allocate from the closest node in the node mask first.
5) some miscellaneous cleanup, including an attempt to clarify
meaning of MPOL_DEFAULT.
