Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 01/11] mm: constify oom_control, scan_control, and alloc_context nodemask
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2025 14:29:17 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251112192936.2574429-2-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251112192936.2574429-1-gourry@gourry.net>
The nodemasks in these structures may come from a variety of sources,
including tasks and cpusets - and should never be modified by any code
when being passed around inside another context.
