From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 11:29:58 -0700 From: Paul Jackson Subject: Re: [RFC] Slab: Enforce clean node lists per zone, add policy support and fallback Message-Id: <20060808112958.12b71fb4.pj@sgi.com> In-Reply-To: References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: Christoph Lameter Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org, penberg@cs.helsinki.fi, kiran@scalex86.org, ak@suse.de List-ID: Rather than special casing __cache_alloc_node() to handle the fallback to other nodes when __GFP_THISNODE was -not- set, it might be clearer to go the custom, single node zonelist (MPOL_BIND-like?) approach, with no __GFP_THISNODE flag, for the few calls that do require exact node placement. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
