So if some task moves out of the preferred node, then we should still be able to move this task there. However your current approach has an advantage that it atleast runs on second preferred choice if not the first. Also should sched_numa_overloaded() also consider pinned tasks? > max_faults = faults; > max_nid = nid; > } > @@ -923,9 +950,7 @@ static void task_numa_placement(struct task_struct *p) > max_nid); > } > > - /* Update the preferred nid and migrate task if possible */ > - p->numa_preferred_nid = max_nid; > - p->numa_migrate_seq = 0; > + sched_setnuma(p, max_nid, preferred_cpu); > migrate_task_to(p, preferred_cpu); > > /* -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
