Michael Kerrisk abe7c8711b Documentation of the move_pages() system call. 
This page was formerly part of the numactl package, but really
belongs in man-pages (since it describes a kernel interface).

Michael Kerrisk 4a459ba1ab Add brief discussion of mode flags. 2008-08-11 05:27:30 +00:00

Michael Kerrisk f98b728e0a Lee Schermerhorn 
Another attempt to rationalize description of MPOL_DEFAULT.

Since ~2.6.25, the system default memory policy is "local allocation".
MPOL_DEFAULT itself is a request to remove any non-default policy and
"fall back" to the surrounding context.  Try to say that without delving
into implementation details.

Michael Kerrisk 20ca75a0d7 Lee Schermerhorn 
Update the get_mempolicy(2) man page to add in the description of
the MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED flag, added in 2.6.23.
mtk
Document additional EINVAL error that occurs is MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED
is specified with either MPOL_F_ADDR or MPOL_F_NODE.

Michael Kerrisk 63e28ad443 Lee Schermerhorn 
Misc cleanup of get_mempolicy(2):
+ mention that any mode flags will be saved with mode.
I don't bother to document mode flags here because we
already have a pointer to set_mempolicy(2) for more info
on memory policy.  mode flags are discussed there.
+ remove some old, obsolete [IMO] NOTES and 'roff comments.

Michael Kerrisk d4c8c97c31 s/PF_/AF_/ for socket family constants. Reasons: the AF_ and 
PF_ constants have always had the same values; there never has
been a protocol family that had more than one address family,
and POSIX.1-2001 only specifies the AF_* constants.

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.
 2008-08-08 15:22:56 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk cdba92536d Lee Schermerhorn 
Fix up the error return for nodemask containing nodes disallowed by
the process' current cpuset.  Disallowed nodes are now silently ignored,
as long as the nodemask contains at least one node that is on-line,
allowed by the process' cpuset and has memory.

Now that we have a cpuset man page, we can refer to cpusets directly
in the man page text.
