------------------------------------------------------ From: Tvrtko Ursulin tvrtko.ursulin@igalia.com Subject: mm/numa_balancing: teach mpol_to_str about the balancing mode Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2024 08:56:32 +0100
Since balancing mode was added in bda420b98505 ("numa balancing: migrate on fault among multiple bound nodes"), it was possible to set this mode but it wouldn't be shown in /proc/<pid>/numa_maps since there was no support for it in the mpol_to_str() helper.
Furthermore, because the balancing mode sets the MPOL_F_MORON flag, it would be displayed as 'default' due a workaround introduced a few years earlier in 8790c71a18e5 ("mm/mempolicy.c: fix mempolicy printing in numa_maps").
To tidy this up we implement two changes:
Replace the MPOL_F_MORON check by pointer comparison against the preferred_node_policy array. By doing this we generalise the current special casing and replace the incorrect 'default' with the correct 'bind' for the mode.
Secondly, we add a string representation and corresponding handling for the MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING flag.
With the two changes together we start showing the balancing flag when it is set and therefore complete the fix.
Representation format chosen is to separate multiple flags with vertical bars, following what existed long time ago in kernel 2.6.25. But as between then and now there wasn't a way to display multiple flags, this patch does not change the format in practice.
Some /proc/<pid>/numa_maps output examples:
