[PATCH] mm/hugetlb: add dedicated func to get 'allowed' nodemask for current process

From: Feng Tang
Date: Thu Aug 04 2022 - 09:03:37 EST


Muchun Song found that after MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy was introduced
in commit b27abaccf8e8 ("mm/mempolicy: add MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY for multiple preferred nodes")
[1], the policy_nodemask_current()'s semantics for this new policy
has been changed, which returns 'preferred' nodes instead of 'allowed'
nodes, and could hurt the usage of its caller in hugetlb:
allowed_mems_nr().

Michal found the policy_nodemask_current() is only used by hugetlb,
and suggested to move it to hugetlb code with more explicit name to
enforce the 'allowed' semantics for which only MPOL_BIND policy
matters.

One note for the new policy_mbind_nodemask() is, the cross check
from MPOL_BIND, gfp flags and cpuset configuration can lead to
a no available node case, which is considered to be broken
configuration, and 'NULL' (equals all nodes) will be returned.

apply_policy_zone() is made extern to be called in hugetlb code
and its return value is changed to bool.
