From 30150f8d7b76f25b1127a5079528b7a17307f995 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2007 20:40:45 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mbind: restrict nodes to the currently allowed cpuset Currently one can specify an arbitrary node mask to mbind that includes nodes not allowed. If that is done with an interleave policy then we will go around all the nodes. Those outside of the currently allowed cpuset will be redirected to the border nodes. Interleave will then create imbalances at the borders of the cpuset. This patch restricts the nodes to the currently allowed cpuset.
