[PATCH] Implement sys_* do_* layering in the memory policy layer.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
- Do a separation between do_xxx and sys_xxx functions. sys_xxx functions
  take variable sized bitmaps from user space as arguments. do_xxx functions
  take fixed sized nodemask_t as arguments and may be used from inside the
  kernel. Doing so simplifies the initialization code. There is no
  fs = kernel_ds assumption anymore.

- Split up get_nodes into get_nodes (which gets the node list) and
  contextualize_policy which restricts the nodes to those accessible
  to the task and updates cpusets.

- Add comments explaining limitations of bind policy
