  25 .SH DESCRIPTION
  26 .sp
  27 .LP
  28 The \fBlgrp_affinity_get()\fR function returns the affinity that the LWP or set
  29 of LWPs specified by the \fIidtype\fR and \fIid\fR arguments have for the given
  30 lgroup.
  31 .sp
  32 .LP
  33 The \fBlgrp_affinity_set()\fR function sets the affinity that the LWP or set of
  34 LWPs specified by \fIidtype\fR and \fIid\fR have for the given lgroup.  The
  35 lgroup affinity can be set to \fBLGRP_AFF_STRONG\fR, \fBLGRP_AFF_WEAK\fR, or
  36 \fBLGRP_AFF_NONE\fR.
  37 .sp
  38 .LP
  39 If the \fIidtype\fR is \fBP_PID\fR, the affinity is retrieved for one of the
  40 LWPs in the process or set for all the LWPs of the process with process ID
  41 (PID) \fIid\fR. The affinity is retrieved or set for the LWP of the current
  42 process with LWP ID \fIid\fR if \fIidtype\fR is \fBP_LWPID\fR.  If \fIid\fR is
  43 \fBP_MYID\fR, then the current LWP or process is specified.
  44 .sp
  45 .LP
  46 The operating system uses the lgroup affinities as advice on where to run a
  47 thread and allocate its memory and factors this advice in with other
  48 constraints.  Processor binding and processor sets can restrict which lgroups a
  49 thread can run on, but do not change the lgroup affinities.
  50 .sp
  51 .LP
  52 Each thread can have an affinity for an lgroup in the system such that the
  53 thread will tend to be scheduled to run on that lgroup and allocate memory from
  54 there whenever possible.  If the thread has affinity for more than one lgroup,
  55 the operating system will try to run the thread and allocate its memory on the
  56 lgroup for which it has the strongest affinity, then the next strongest, and so
  57 on up through some small, system-dependent number of these lgroup affinities.
  58 When multiple lgroups have the same affinity, the order of preference among
  59 them is unspecified and up to the operating system to choose.  The lgroup with
  60 the strongest affinity that the thread can run on is known as its "home lgroup"
  61 (see \fBlgrp_home\fR(3LGRP)) and is usually the operating system's first choice
  62 of where to run the thread and allocate its memory.
  63 .sp
  64 .LP
  65  There are different levels of affinity that can be specified by a thread for a
  66 particuliar lgroup.  The levels of affinity are the following from strongest to
  67 weakest:
  68 .sp
  69 .in +2
  70 .nf
  71 LGRP_AFF_STRONG         /* strong affinity */
  72 LGRP_AFF_WEAK           /* weak affinity */
  73 LGRP_AFF_NONE           /* no affinity */
  74 .fi
  75 .in -2
  76 
  77 .sp
  78 .LP
  79 The \fBLGRP_AFF_STRONG\fR affinity serves as a hint to the operating system
  80 that the calling thread has a strong affinity for the given lgroup.  If this is
  81 the thread's home lgroup, the operating system will avoid rehoming it to
  82 another lgroup if possible.  However, dynamic reconfiguration, processor
  83 offlining, processor binding, and processor set binding and manipulation are
  84 examples of events that can cause the operating system to change the thread's
  85 home lgroup for which it has a strong affinity.
  86 .sp
  87 .LP
  88 The \fBLGRP_AFF_WEAK\fR affinity is a hint to the operating system that the
  89 calling thread has a weak affinity for the given lgroup.  If a thread has a
  90 weak affinity for its home lgroup, the operating system interpets this to mean
  91 that thread does not mind whether it is rehomed, unlike \fBLGRP_AFF_STRONG\fR.
  92 Load balancing, dynamic reconfiguration, processor binding, or processor set
  93 binding and manipulation are examples of events that can cause the operating
  94 system to change a thread's home lgroup for which it has a weak affinity.
  95 .sp
  96 .LP
  97 The \fBLGRP_AFF_NONE\fR affinity signifies no affinity and can be used to
  98 remove a thread's affinity for a particuliar lgroup.  Initially, each thread
  99 has no affinity to any lgroup.  If a thread has no lgroup affinities set, the
 100 operating system chooses a home lgroup for the thread with no affinity set.
 101 .SH RETURN VALUES
 102 .sp
 103 .LP
 104 Upon successful completion, \fBlgrp_affinity_get()\fR returns the affinity for
 105 the given lgroup.

 107 .LP
 108 Upon successful completion, \fBlgrp_affinity_set()\fR return 0.

 111 Otherwise, both functions return \(mi1 and set \fBerrno\fR to indicate the
 112 error.
