This is an another insanely long mail. Short summary, based on the results of what is in tip/master right now, I think if we're going to merge anything for v3.8 it should be the "Automatic NUMA Balancing V8". It does reasonably well for many of the workloads and AFAIK there is no reason why numacore or autonuma could not be rebased on top with the view to merging proper scheduling and placement policies in 3.9.
Given how minimalistic balancenuma is, and how there does not seem to be anything significant in the way of performance regressions with balancenuma, I have no objections to Linus merging all of balancenuma for 3.8. That could significantly reduce the amount of NUMA code we need to "fight over" for the 3.9 kernel :) -- All rights reversed -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
