I think the above should work fine and give the expected OOM since the node has no memory. The zone struct should redirect via the zonelist to nodes that have memory for allocations that are not bound to a single node. > I also still don't know if it makes sense to have memoryless nodes, but > supporting it does. > So wath would be reasonable, to have empty zonelists for those node, or to > check if zonelists are uninitialized ? zonelists of those nodes should contain a list of fallback zones with available memory. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
