Indeed ...

I'll rebase it to a (by that time probably upstream) srcu commit
after the merge window, once we have more fixes, have
incorporated suggestions, etc. - but it's still essentially an
RFC topic: [*]

Fundamentally, do people agree with the 'single home node'
approach to begin with? We could turn it into a node mask,
but that complicates things.

For example if there's a hierarchy of nodes, low latency and
high latency ones, then it might be valid to limit to a high
level (high latency) node and not specify the lower level node -
while the kernel would still know about the lower level nodes as
well.

Managing locality in a non-trivial cache hierarchy is hard :-/

Thanks,

Ingo

[*] I should probably move this to the tip:RFC/sched/numa
branch, to make it clear what the status of the branch is,
from the commit notification emails.
