The numa hinting page fault is already scanning the pmd only, and it's working fine. So reducing the page_autonuma to one per pmd would not reduce the granularity of the information with the default settings everyone has been using so far, but then it would prevent this runtime tweak to work: echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/autonuma/knuma_scand/pmd I'm thinking about it but probably reducing the page_autonuma to one per pmd is going to be the simplest solution considering by default we only track the pmd anyway. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
