Hi, is possible to turn of numa balancing (introduced in 3.8) in a running kernel? I'm running a recent arch kernel and numa balancing is enabled by default. I checked several documents and found some sysctl variable which influence the behavior of numa balance, but there is no clear documentation if it's possible to disable it. The only defined way to disable it is using a kernel parameter numa_balancing= [KNL,X86] Enable or disable automatic NUMA balancing. Allowed values are enable and disable Is there any other way?
