The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/mempolicy: failed to disable numa balancing has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mempolicy-failed-to-disable-numa-balancing.patch This patch was dropped because it was nacked ------------------------------------------------------ From: tzm <tcm1030@xxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mempolicy: failed to disable numa balancing Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2022 22:16:30 +0800 The kernel fails to disable numa balancing policy permanently when the user passes <numa_balancing=disable> to the boot cmdline parameters. The numabalancing_override variable is 1 for enable -1 for disable. So, !numabalancing_override will always be true, which causes this bug.
