Subject: mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5606e3877ad8baea42f3a71ebde0a03622bbb551;p=linux-beck.git

mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy

This is the simplest possible policy that still does something of note.
When a pte_numa is faulted, it is moved immediately. Any replacement
policy must at least do better than this and in all likelihood this
policy regresses normal workloads.
