The patch titled scheduler: NUMA aware placement of sched_group_allnodes has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is scheduler-numa-aware-placement-of-sched_group_allnodes.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: scheduler: NUMA aware placement of sched_group_allnodes From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> When the per cpu sched domains are build then they also need to be placed on the node where the cpu resides otherwise we will have frequent off node accesses which will slow down the system.
