From a210906c1b791af1434323f69427286039c9c8b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2007 13:46:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mount -t tmpfs -o mpol=: check nodes online Randy Dunlap reports that a tmpfs, mounted with NUMA mpol= specifying an offline node, crashes as soon as data is allocated upon it. Now restrict it to online nodes, where before it restricted to MAX_NUMNODES.
