[PATCH 3/4] proc: Report process NUMA balancing mode
From: Li Zhe
Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 08:29:13 EST
Add NumaB_mode to /proc/<pid>/status so users can inspect the configured
process automatic NUMA balancing mode without issuing a prctl() from the
target process.
The field reports the process mode as enabled or disabled when automatic
NUMA balancing is supported, and unsupported when the kernel is built
without CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING. Effective behavior still depends on the
global numa_balancing sysctl and memory policy.
