Thanks. Indeed, it's a Linux "feature". When you request a non-strict memory binding in Linux (MPOL_PREFERRED, not MPOL_BIND), it only keeps the first node in the input nodemask. Instead of allocating on X,Y,Z when possible and anywhere else otherwise, it allocates on X when possible and anywhere else otherwise. That's why we get 0x0000003f (first node cpuset) instead of 0x00ffffff (four first nodes cpuset) when we request the current binding. Brice
