In document numa_memory_policy.txt, the following examples for flag MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES are incorrect. For example, consider a task that is attached to a cpuset with mems 2-5 that sets an Interleave policy over the same set with MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES. If the cpuset's mems change to 3-7, the interleave now occurs over nodes 3,5-6. If the cpuset's mems then change to 0,2-3,5, then the interleave occurs over nodes 0,3,5. According to the comment of the patch adding flag MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES, the nodemasks the user specifies should be considered relative to the current task's mems_allowed. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/29/428) And according to numa_memory_policy.txt, if the user's nodemask includes nodes that are outside the range of the new set of allowed nodes, then the remap wraps around to the beginning of the nodemask and, if not already set, sets the node in the mempolicy nodemask. So in the example, if the user specifies 2-5, for a task whose mems_allowed is 3-7, the nodemasks should be remapped the third, fourth, fifth, sixth node in mems_allowed. like the following: mems_allowed: 3 4 5 6 7 relative index: 0 1 2 3 4 5 So the nodemasks should be remapped to 3,5-7, but not 3,5-6. And for a task whose mems_allowed is 0,2-3,5, the nodemasks should be remapped to 0,2-3,5, but not 0,3,5. mems_allowed: 0 2 3 5 relative index: 0 1 2 3 4 5 Signed-off-by: Tang Chen <tangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |
