I do get that you wanted to keep MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY unaccessible for
the userspace but wouldn't it be much easier to simply check in two
syscall entries rather than playing thise MAX+1 games which make the
review more complicated than necessary?

Why those two do a slightly different thing? Is this because unlike
MPOL_PREFERRED it can never have MPOL_F_LOCAL cleared? If that is the
case I would still stick the two together and use the same code for
both to make the code easier to follow. Now that both use the same
nodemask it should really be just about syscall inputs sanitization and
to keep the original behavior for MPOL_PREFERRED.

I do not think this is a correct behavior. Preferred policy, whether it
is a single node or a nodemask, is a hint not a requirement. So we
should always treat it as intersecting. I do understand that the naming
can be confusing because intersect operation should indeed check
nodemaska but this is yet another trap of the mempolicy code. It is
only used for the OOM selection.
Btw. the code is wrong for INTERLEAVE as well because it uses the
interleaving node as a hint as well. It is not bound by the interleave
nodemask. Sigh...

Again different from MPOL_PREFERRED...

I hope a follow up patch will make this not panic but as you are already
plumbing everything in it should really be as simple as node_isset
check.

Besides that, this should really go!
