I'm not totally sure I understand the question.  It follows everything.

I suspect that what you're looking is that copy_nodes_to_user() is
parsed inline and get_mempolicy() isn't.  In smatch_flow.c look at the
places which reference __inline_fn and you'll see the rules for this.
Basically inlines don't nest, it has to be shorter than 20 lines long
and have a max of 10 statements.

There is the smatch_db.sqlite file normal cross function analysis and
another sqlite DB in ram for handling inline functions.
