There has been no conclusive proof that the overhead introduced by automatic migration schemes is consistently less than the benefit obtained by moving the data. Quite to the contrary. We have over a decades worth of research and attempts on this issue and there was no general improvement to be had that way. The reason that the manual placement interfaces exist is because there was no generally beneficial migration scheme available. The manual interfaces allow the writing of various automatic migrations schemes in user space. If wecan come up with something that is an improvement then lets go this way but I am skeptical. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-numa" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
