The patch titled Fix MPOL_INTERLEAVE behavior for memoryless nodes has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fix-mpol_interleave-behavior-for-memoryless-nodes.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Fix MPOL_INTERLEAVE behavior for memoryless nodes From: clameter@xxxxxxx MPOL_INTERLEAVE currently simply loops over all nodes. Allocations on memoryless nodes will be redirected to nodes with memory. This results in an imbalance because the neighboring nodes to memoryless nodes will get significantly more interleave hits that the rest of the nodes. We can avoid this imbalance by clearing the nodes in the interleave node set that have no memory.
