From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch should probably be folded into commit 77e0ecbbc5cf0a84764be88b9de5ff13e4338163 Author: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Aug 27 21:52:47 2013 +0100 sched: numa: Decide whether to favour task or group weights based on swap candidate relationships This patch separately considers task and group affinities when searching for swap candidates during NUMA placement. If tasks are part of the same group, or no group at all, the task weights are considered. Some hysteresis is added to prevent tasks within one group from getting bounced between NUMA nodes due to tiny differences. If tasks are part of different groups, the code compares group weights, in order to favor grouping task groups together. The patch also changes the group weight multiplier to be the same as the task weight multiplier, since the two are no longer added up like before.
