      [PATCH] tmpfs: fix mount mpol nodelist parsing · b00dc3ad
      Hugh Dickins authored
      I've been dissatisfied with the mpol_nodelist mount option which was
      added to tmpfs earlier in -rc.  Replace it by mpol=policy:nodelist.
      
      And it was broken: a nodelist is a comma-separated list of numbers and
      ranges; the mount options are a comma-separated list of token=values.
      Whoops, blindly strsep'ing on commas doesn't work so well: since we've
      no numeric tokens, and unlikely to add them, use that to distinguish.
      
      Move the mpol= parsing to shmem_parse_mpol under CONFIG_NUMA, reject
      all its options as invalid if not NUMA.  /proc shows MPOL_PREFERRED
      as "prefer", so use that name for the policy instead of "preferred".
      
      Enforce that mpol=default has no nodelist; that mpol=prefer has one
      node only; that mpol=bind has a nodelist; but let mpol=interleave use
      node_online_map if no nodelist given.  Describe this in tmpfs.txt.
