[PATCH 47/49] mm: migrate: Account a transhuge page properly when rate limiting

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Fri Dec 07 2012 - 05:25:52 EST


If there is excessive migration due to NUMA balancing it gets rate
limited. It does this by counting the number of pages it has migrated
recently but counts a transhuge page as 1 page. Account for it properly.
