nodemask: make NODEMASK_ALLOC more general
This is a series of patches to provide control over the location of the
allocation and freeing of persistent huge pages on a NUMA platform.
Please consider for merging into mmotm.
This series uses two mechanisms to constrain the nodes from which
persistent huge pages are allocated: 1) the task NUMA mempolicy of the
task modifying a new sysctl "nr_hugepages_mempolicy", based on a
suggestion by Mel Gorman; and 2) a subset of the hugepages hstate sysfs
attributes have been added [in V4] to each node system device under:
/sys/devices/node/node[0-9]*/hugepages
The per node attibutes allow direct assignment of a huge page count on a
specific node, regardless of the task's mempolicy or cpuset constraints.
This patch:
NODEMASK_ALLOC(x, m) assumes x is a type of struct, which is unnecessary.
It's perfectly reasonable to use this macro to allocate a nodemask_t,
which is anonymous, either dynamically or on the stack depending on
NODES_SHIFT.
