hwloc_nodeset_from_linux_libnuma_bitmask: Interoperability with linux libnuma bitmask -

Detailed Description

This interface helps converting between Linux libnuma bitmasks and hwloc cpusets and nodesets.

It also offers a consistent behavior on non-NUMA machines or non-NUMA-aware kernels by assuming that the machines have a single NUMA node.

Note:

Topology topology must match the current machine.

The behavior of libnuma is undefined if the kernel is not NUMA-aware. (when CONFIG_NUMA is not set in the kernel configuration). This helper and libnuma may thus not be strictly compatible in this case, which may be detected by checking whether numa_available() returns -1.

Function Documentation

static int hwloc_cpuset_from_linux_libnuma_bitmask (\fBhwloc_topology_t\fPtopology, \fBhwloc_cpuset_t\fPcpuset, const struct bitmask *bitmask)\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [static]\fP

Convert libnuma bitmask bitmask into hwloc CPU set cpuset. This function may be used after calling many numa_ functions that use a struct bitmask as an output parameter.

static struct bitmask * hwloc_cpuset_to_linux_libnuma_bitmask (\fBhwloc_topology_t\fPtopology, \fBhwloc_const_cpuset_t\fPcpuset)\fC [static]\fP

Convert hwloc CPU set cpuset into the returned libnuma bitmask. The returned bitmask should later be freed with numa_bitmask_free.

This function may be used before calling many numa_ functions that use a struct bitmask as an input parameter.

Returns:

newly allocated struct bitmask.

static int hwloc_nodeset_from_linux_libnuma_bitmask (\fBhwloc_topology_t\fPtopology, \fBhwloc_nodeset_t\fPnodeset, const struct bitmask *bitmask)\fC [inline]\fP, \fC [static]\fP

Convert libnuma bitmask bitmask into hwloc NUMA node set nodeset. This function may be used after calling many numa_ functions that use a struct bitmask as an output parameter.

static struct bitmask * hwloc_nodeset_to_linux_libnuma_bitmask (\fBhwloc_topology_t\fPtopology, \fBhwloc_const_nodeset_t\fPnodeset)\fC [static]\fP

Convert hwloc NUMA node set nodeset into the returned libnuma bitmask. The returned bitmask should later be freed with numa_bitmask_free.
