Re: [PATCH] String conversions for memory policy

String conversions for memory policy

This patch adds two new functions to mm/mempolicy.c that allow the conversion
of a memory policy to a textual representation and vice versa.

Syntax of textual representation:

default
preferred=<nodenumber>
bind=<nodelist>
interleave=<nodelist>

Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter.com>
