Gack.  offset_il_node() should be dragged out, strangled, shot then burnt.

static unsigned offset_il_node(struct mempolicy *pol,
                struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long off)
{
        unsigned nnodes = nodes_weight(pol->v.nodes);
        unsigned target;
        int c;
        int nid = NUMA_NO_NODE;

        if (!nnodes)
                return numa_node_id();
        target = (unsigned int)off % nnodes;
        c = 0;
        do {
                nid = next_node(nid, pol->v.nodes);
                c++;
        } while (c <= target);
        return nid;
}

For starters it is relying upon next_node(-1, ...) behaving like
first_node().  Fair enough I guess, but that isn't very clear.

static inline int __next_node(int n, const nodemask_t *srcp)
{
        return min_t(int,MAX_NUMNODES,find_next_bit(srcp->bits, MAX_NUMNODES, 
n+1));
}

will start from node 0 when it does the n+1.

Also it is relying upon NUMA_NO_NODE having a value of -1.  That's just
grubby - this code shouldn't "know" that NUMA_NO_NODE==-1.  It would have
been better to use plain old "-1" here.


Does this look clearer and correct?

/*
 * Do static interleaving for a VMA with known offset @n.  Returns the n'th
 * node in pol->v.nodes (starting from n=0), wrapping around if n exceeds the
 * number of present nodes.
 */
static unsigned offset_il_node(struct mempolicy *pol,
                               struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long n)
{
        unsigned nnodes = nodes_weight(pol->v.nodes);
        unsigned target;
        int i;
        int nid;

        if (!nnodes)
                return numa_node_id();
        target = (unsigned int)n % nnodes;
        nid = first_node(pol->v.nodes);
        for (i = 0; i < target; i++)
                nid = next_node(nid, pol->v.nodes);
        return nid;
}


From: Andrew Morton <a...@linux-foundation.org>
Subject: mm/mempolicy.c:offset_il_node() document and clarify

This code was pretty obscure and was relying upon obscure side-effects of
next_node(-1, ...) and was relying upon NUMA_NO_NODE being equal to -1.

Clean that all up and document the function's intent.
