| 1.0.3 |
| |
| - Add the migspeed test program to test the speed of migrating pages from |
| one node to another |

| - Add the move_pages test command to exercise the move_pages(2) system call |
| - Add the mbind_mig_pages test command to verify the moving of a task's |
| pages with move_pages(2) |

| moved with move_pages(2) |
| - Support numactl +nn syntax for cpuset_relative cpu and node numbers |
| - Modify libnuma to use variable-length bit masks (the bitmask structure) |
| - Modify numactl, migspeed, memhog, migratepages, numademo and stream_main |
| to use variable-length bit masks |
| - Modify the test/ programs to use the libnuma that uses variable size bit masks |
| - Version 2 (symbol versioning) |
| - Man page changes with the change to variable-length bit masks, move_pages |
| migrate_pages and others |
| |
| 2.0.0 |
| - Added API version 2 and symbol versioning. This provides binary |
| compatibility with old codes that use libnuma. |
| - Brought the man page in line with the version 2 changes. |
| - Provide numacompat1.h and additions to numa.h, which provide source code |
| compatibility to libnuma version 1. (The application progamming interface |
| changes, but the ABI is preserved through the use of symbol versioning. So |
| the library stays libnuma.so.1) |
| - Added variable-length bit masks to libnuma. These are struct bitmask. |
| This allows libnuma to be independent of ever increasing cpu counts. |
| o Modified the test/ programs to use variable size bit masks. |
| o Modified numactl, migspeed, memhog, migratepages, numademo and stream_main |
| to use variable-length bit masks. |
| - Added support for move_pages(2) (sys_move_pages()) to numactl. Adds |
| numa_move_pages() to libnuma. |
| o Added the mbind_mig_pages test command to verify the moving of a |
| task's pages with move_pages(2). |
| o Added the move_pages test command to exercise the move_pages(2) system call. |
| o Added the migrate_pages test command to test that a task's pages can |
| be moved with move_pages(2). |
| o Added the migspeed test program. It tests the speed of migrating pages |
| from one node to another. |
| - Allow a numactl +nn syntax for cpuset_relative cpu and node numbers. |
| - General cleanup of man page. |
| - Return nodes allowed by the application's current cpuset context via new |
