For removing memory-less-node, we'll have to make consensus on "a node represents a group of memory, not cpu, not devices" I read old e-mails on node-hotplug again. In the early stage of node-hotplug, I assumes "a node has memory". After discussion between several groups, I knew there are people who consider groups of something as node. (and we had to change our plan......) like this (old) homepage's FAQ 5. http://lse.sourceforge.net/numa/faq/ > > static struct mempolicy *mpol_new(int mode, nodemask_t *nodes) > > { > > struct mempolicy *policy; > > + void *val; > > Using void * here is nasty when it's a zonelist pointer. > okay. changes this to be more neat one..take3 will come. -Kame - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
