With below NUMA topology, where node 0 & 2 are cpu + dram nodes and node 1 & 3 are slow memory nodes, available: 4 nodes (0-3) node 0 cpus: 0 1 node 0 size: n MB node 0 free: n MB node 1 cpus: node 1 size: n MB node 1 free: n MB node 2 cpus: 2 3 node 2 size: n MB node 2 free: n MB node 3 cpus: node 3 size: n MB node 3 free: n MB node distances: node 0 1 2 3 0: 10 40 20 80 1: 40 10 80 80 2: 20 80 10 40 3: 80 80 40 10 And, what is the demotion order for the following system with [PATCH v2]? Node 0 & 2 are cpu + dram nodes and node 1 are slow memory node near node 0, available: 3 nodes (0-2) node 0 cpus: 0 1 node 0 size: n MB node 0 free: n MB node 1 cpus: node 1 size: n MB node 1 free: n MB node 2 cpus: 2 3 node 2 size: n MB node 2 free: n MB node distances: node 0 1 2 0: 10 40 20 1: 40 10 80 2: 20 80 10 Best Regards, Huang, Ying [snip]
