The zone struct should redirect via the zonelist to nodes that have memory for allocations that are not bound to a single node. > I also still don't know if it makes sense to have memoryless nodes, but supporting it does. > So wath would be reasonable, to have empty zonelists for those node, or to check if zonelists are uninitialized ? zonelists of those nodes should contain a list of fallback zones with available memory. - 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/
