From 6b9a7460b6baf6c77fc3d23d927ddfc3f3f05bf3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 11:29:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched/numa: Retry migration of tasks to CPU on a preferred node When a preferred node is selected for a tasks there is an attempt to migrate the task to a CPU there. This may fail in which case the task will only migrate if the active load balancer takes action. This may never happen if the conditions are not right. This patch will check at NUMA hinting fault time if another attempt should be made to migrate the task. It will only make an attempt once every five seconds.
