IIRC the test consisted of a 16GB NUMA system with two 8GB nodes.
It was running 3 KVM guests, two guests of 3GB memory each, and
one guest of 6GB each.
How many cpus per guest (host threads) and how many physical/logical
cpus per node on the host? Any comparisons with a situation where
the memory would fit within nodes but the scheduling load would
be too high?
IIRC this particular test was constructed to have guests
A and B fit in one NUMA node, with guest C in the other
NUMA node.
With schednuma, guest A ended up on one NUMA node, guest
B on the other, and guest C was spread between both nodes.
Only migrating when there is plenty of free space available
means you can end up not doing the right thing when running
a few large workloads on the system.
