Subject: [PATCH v3 7/7] NOT kernel/man2/mbind.2: Add mode flag MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING
Date: Fri,  1 Dec 2023 09:46:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231201094636.19770-8-laoar.shao@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231201094636.19770-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com>

In Linux Kernel 5.12, a new mode flag, MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING, was
added to set_mempolicy() to optimize the page placement among the
NUMA nodes with the NUMA balancing mechanism even if the memory of
the applications is bound with MPOL_BIND.

In Linux Kernel 5.15, this mode flag was extended to mbind(2). Let's
also add man-page for mbind(2). It is copied from set_mempoicy(2)
man-page with subtle modifications.
