Rik van Riel de1c9ce6f0 sched/numa: Skip some page migrations after a shared fault ... Shared faults can lead to lots of unnecessary page migrations, slowing down the system, and causing private faults to hit the per-pgdat migration ratelimit. This patch adds sysctl numa_balancing_migrate_deferred, which specifies how many shared page migrations to skip unconditionally, after each page migration that is skipped because it is a shared fault. This reduces the number of page migrations back and forth in shared fault situations. It also gives a strong preference to the tasks that are already running where most of the memory is, and to moving the other tasks to near the memory. Testing this with a much higher scan rate than the default still seems to result in fewer page migrations than before. Memory seems to be somewhat better consolidated than previously, with multi-instance specjbb runs on a 4 node system.
