Since v6: * rebased on latest linux-next Since v5: * fix compile failure when NUMA disabled Since v4: * improved documentation Since v3: * fix comments and improved documentation Since v2: * simplified the locality concept & implementation Since v1: * improved documentation Modern production environment could use hundreds of cgroup to control the resources for different workloads, along with the complicated resource binding. On NUMA platforms where we have multiple nodes, things become even more complicated, we hope there are more local memory access to improve the performance, and NUMA Balancing keep working hard to achieve that, however, wrong memory policy or node binding could easily waste the effort, result a lot of remote page accessing. We need to notice such problems, then we got chance to fix it before there are too much damages, however, there are no good monitoring approach yet to help catch the mouse who introduced the remote access. This patch set is trying to fill in the missing pieces， by introduce the per-cgroup NUMA locality info, with this new statistics, we could achieve the daily monitoring on NUMA efficiency, to give warning when things going too wrong. Please check the second patch for more details.
