Once this is enabled page demotion may move data to a NUMA node that does not fall into the cpuset of the allocating process. This could be construed to violate the guarantees of cpusets. However, since this is an opt-in mechanism, the assumption is that anyone enabling it is content to relax the guarantees.I think we'd better have the cpuset violation paragraph along with new zone reclaim mode text so that the users are aware of the potential violation. I don't think commit log is the to-go place for any plain users.
Agreed. I'll add it to the Documentation/.
