[PATCH] sunrpc: use better NUMA affinities

From: Eric Dumazet
Date: Thu Jul 28 2011 - 14:04:29 EST


Use NUMA aware allocations to reduce latencies and increase throughput.

sunrpc kthreads can use kthread_create_on_node() if pool_mode is
"percpu" or "pernode", and svc_prepare_thread()/svc_init_buffer() can
also take into account NUMA node affinity for memory allocations.
