mempolicy: disallow static or relative flags for local preferred mode
MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES don't mean anything for MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask (for purely local allocations). They'll never be invalidated because the allowed mems of a task changes or need to be rebound relative to a cpuset's placement. Also fixes a bug identified by Lee Schermerhorn that disallowed empty nodemasks to be passed to MPOL_PREFERRED to specify local allocations. [A different, somewhat incomplete, patch already existed in 25-rc5-mm1.] Cc: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Cc: Lee Schermerhorn <Lee.Schermerhorn@hp.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
