[RFC][PATCH 10/26] mm, mpol: Make mempolicy home-node aware

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add another layer of fallback policy to make the home node concept
useful from a memory allocation PoV.

This changes the mpol order to:

 - vma->vm_ops->get_policy	[if applicable]
 - vma->vm_policy		[if applicable]
 - task->mempolicy
 - tsk_home_node() preferred	[NEW]
 - default_policy

Note that the tsk_home_node() policy has Migrate-on-Fault enabled to
facilitate efficient on-demand memory migration.
