Subject: [PATCH v5 24/36] mm/mempolicy: add in-kernel MPOL_BIND interfaces for drivers/services
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:34:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720193431.3841992-25-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720193431.3841992-1-gourry@gourry.net>

Add and export interfaces to enable modules to build a mempolicy with
(MPOL_BIND | MPOL_F_PRIVATE) pinned to a private NUMA node, so the
drivers can stamp it onto VMAs they control (via vma->vm_policy).

  mpol_bind_node()    - acts the same as a userland mbind()
  mpol_private_bind() - bypasses the CAP_USER_NUMA check.

Export it to modules (private:kmem, bind:kvm).

Widen __mpol_put()'s module export to kmem so the driver can
release the policy.

Adjust mpol_set_nodemask to check for a pre-set MPOL_F_PRIVATE flag
to allow the mpol_private_bind() check to bypass the N_MEMORY filter.
