Michael Kerrisk bfcecf8a76 Fix error conditions, now that the kernel silently ignores
nodes outside the task's cpuset, as long as one valid node remains.

Now that cpuset man page exists, we can refer to it.  Remove
stale comment regarding lack thereof.

Michael Kerrisk 45ca54fea8 Minor fixes 2007-08-27 11:01:24 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 9f5682a8ed + changed the "policy" parameter to "mode" through out the
descriptions in an attempt to promote the concept that the memory
  policy is a tuple consisting of a mode and optional set of nodes.

+ rewrite portions of description for clarification.

  ++ clarify interaction of policy with mmap()'d files and shared
     memory regions, including SHM_HUGE regions.

  ++ defined how "empty set of nodes" specified and what this
     means for MPOL_PREFERRED.

  ++ mention what happens if local/target node contains no
     free memory.

  ++ clarify semantics of multiple nodes to BIND policy.
     Note:  subject to change.  We'll fix the man pages when/if
            this happens.

+ added all errors currently returned by sys call.

+ added mmap(2), shmget(2), shmat(2) to See Also list.
