From 4e7b8a6cef64a4c1f1194f9926f794c2b75ebdd7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 17:58:13 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] nodemask: make NODEMASK_ALLOC more general This is a series of patches to provide control over the location of the allocation and freeing of persistent huge pages on a NUMA platform. Please consider for merging into mmotm. This series uses two mechanisms to constrain the nodes from which persistent huge pages are allocated: 1) the task NUMA mempolicy of the task modifying a new sysctl "nr_hugepages_mempolicy", based on a suggestion by Mel Gorman; and 2) a subset of the hugepages hstate sysfs attributes have been added [in V4] to each node system device under: /sys/devices/node/node[0-9]*/hugepages The per node attibutes allow direct assignment of a huge page count on a specific node, regardless of the task's mempolicy or cpuset constraints. This patch: NODEMASK_ALLOC(x, m) assumes x is a type of struct, which is unnecessary. It's perfectly reasonable to use this macro to allocate a nodemask_t, which is anonymous, either dynamically or on the stack depending on NODES_SHIFT.
