Futexes are really cursed :)

Same page and same cacheline.

I think it makes sense.

Sure, but taste disagrees and it simply makes the code more obvious.

Right, but:
if (node == -1) {
node = numa_node_id();
if (futex_put_value(node, naddr, flags))
return -EFAULT;
} else if (node >= MAX_NUMNODES || !node_possible(node)) {
return -EINVAL;
}
makes it clear that the path where @node read from user space is != -1
needs to be validated, while your version checks the result of
node = numa_node_id();
too, which does not make sense to me. Yes, it works, but ...
