This works with mbind() or the numactl library. Hi Keith, Great to see this 'nearly' good to go. For those that were too small / trivial to deserve a reviewed-by Acked-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com> Subject to that one tweak in patch 7, Tested-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com> Note that my tests were very limited for the memory-side caches and not exactly comprehensive for the access attributes either. They focused on the cases I care about rather than putting together a fuller test suite. That is probably worth doing at some point though not sure I'll get to it any time soon.
