Do not increase the node count unless a node has been successfully read,
because it can lead to a segfault if an error occurs.
For example, if perf exceeds the open file limit in memory_node__read(),
which, on a test system, could be made to happen by setting the file limit
to exactly 32:
Before:
$ ulimit -n 32
$ perf mem record --all-user -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
failed: can't open memory sysfs data
perf: Segmentation fault

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
