[PATCH 49/63] sched: numa: use group fault statistics in numa placement

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Fri Sep 27 2013 - 09:35:36 EST


This patch uses the fraction of faults on a particular node for both task
and group, to figure out the best node to place a task. If the task and
group statistics disagree on what the preferred node should be then a full
rescan will select the node with the best combined weight.
