It seems like an interface, similar to the one proposed by Ulrich, that described the NUMA topology would have obsoleted numa_maps and you could only rely on smaps to determine locality. There's existing userspace dependencies on numa_maps already, though, so owell. I had to fix numa_maps output when autonuma was merged for a much more subtle difference at http://marc.info/?l=git-commits-head&m=139113691614467 so I know some people actually parse this and care quite a bit about its accuracy, it's a shame it can't be deprecated in favor of adding the necessary information to smaps. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
