[PATCH 09/19] sched/numa: Modify migrate_swap to accept additional params

From: Srikar Dronamraju
Date: Mon Jun 04 2018 - 06:01:21 EST


There are checks in migrate_swap_stop that check if the task/cpu
combination is as per migrate_swap_arg before migrating.

However atleast one of the two tasks to be swapped by migrate_swap could
have migrated to a completely different cpu before updating the
migrate_swap_arg. The new cpu where the task is currently running could
be a different node too. If the task has migrated, numa balancer might
end up placing a task in a wrong node. Instead of achieving node
consolidation, it may end up spreading the load across nodes.

To avoid that pass the cpus as additional parameters.

While here, place migrate_swap under CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING.
