From b726b7dfb400c937546fa91cf8523dcb1aa2fc6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 11:28:53 +0100 Subject: Revert "mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node" PTE scanning and NUMA hinting fault handling is expensive so commit 5bca2303 ("mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node") deferred the PTE scan until a task had been scheduled on another node. The problem is that in the purely shared memory case that this may never happen and no NUMA hinting fault information will be captured. We are not ruling out the possibility that something better can be done here but for now, this patch needs to be reverted and depend entirely on the scan_delay to avoid punishing short-lived processes.
