Certainly, it appears that we were addressing the same matter but approaching it from different perspectives or discussions. And we hastened to submit our RFCs before the Thanksgiving break. :-)
The patch I sent originated from the thread, and the subsequent discussion commenced with the 'pidfd_set_mempolicy' RFC, possibly influenced by the 'process_madvise.' Specifically, the concept of a 'process_mbind()' syscall was suggested by Frank van der Linden (Google): https://lkml.kernel.org/linux-mm/Y0WEbCqJHjnqsg8n@dhcp22.suse.cz/T/#m950f26bdd6ce494b20ba170cc1f6db85e1924e8e
I would appreciate it if others could kindly evaluate what appears to be the suitable course of action moving forward.
Thank you!
