Subject:  [PATCH_FOR_REVIEW 2.6.12-rc1 2/3] mm: manual page migration-rc1 -- add node_map arg to try_to_migrate_pages()
Date:  Tue, 5 Apr 2005 21:17:01 -0700 (PDT)
Cc:  Ray Bryant <raybry@sgi.com>, Ray Bryant <raybry@austin.rr.com>, linux-mm <linux-mm@kvack.org>

This patch changes the interface to try_to_migrate_pages() so that one
can specify the nodes where the pages are to be migrated to.  This is
done by adding a "node_map" argument to try_to_migrate_pages(), node_map
is of type "short *".

If this argument is NULL, then try_to_migrate_pages() behaves exactly
as before and this is the interface the rest of the memory hotplug
patch should use.  (Note:  This patchset does not include the changes
for the rest of the memory hotplug patch that will be necessary to use
this new interface [if it is accepted].  Those chagnes will be provided
as a distinct patch.)

If the argument is non-NULL, the node_map points at an array of shorts
of size MAX_NUMNODES.   node_map[N] is either the id of an online node
or -1.  If node_map[N] >=0 then pages found in the page list passed
to try_to_migrate_pages() that are found on node N are migrated to node
node_map[N].  if node_map[N] == -1, then pages found on node N are left
where they are.

This change depends on previous changes to migrate_onepage()
that support migrating a page to a specified node.  These changes 
are already part of the memory migration sub-patch of the memory
hotplug patch.

           so I installed Linux.
