[PATCH 33/50] sched: numa: increment numa_migrate_seq when task runs in correct location

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Tue Sep 10 2013 - 05:39:02 EST


From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

When a task is already running on its preferred node, increment
numa_migrate_seq to indicate that the task is settled if migration is
temporarily disabled, and memory should migrate towards it.

[mgorman@xxxxxxx: Only increment migrate_seq if migration temporarily disabled]
