Subject: Re: [PATCH] mempolicy: check home_node is in the nodes of policy
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2024 14:15:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0e99b72c-c3d9-424e-8efe-af750da69ebf@ustc.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240128002942.b0dbede1fcc4b80d2a398d15@linux-foundation.org>

For example,  In a system with NUMA nodes 0,1,2,3, i mbind process to 
node 0-2 and set home_node to node 3, it will not be allocated from node 
3, then from node closer to node 3. But i think home_node should be set 
directly from node 0-2, which makes more sense. So i think it needs to 
return failure to prompt user.
