The patch titled Subject: mm/mempolicy: unify the create() func for bind/interleave/prefer-many policies has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-mempolicy-unify-the-create-func-for-bind-interleave-prefer-many-policies.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-mempolicy-unify-the-create-func-for-bind-interleave-prefer-many-policies.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-mempolicy-unify-the-create-func-for-bind-interleave-prefer-many-policies.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Feng Tang <feng.tang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mempolicy: unify the create() func for bind/interleave/prefer-many policies As they all do the same thing: sanity check and save nodemask info, create one mpol_new_nodemask() to reduce redundancy.
