sched/numa: Limit the conditions where scan period is reset

gormanm · Ingo Molnar · commit 05cbdf4f5c19 · 2018-10-02T09:42:24.000+02:00
migrate_task_rq_fair() resets the scan rate for NUMA balancing on every cross-node migration. In the event of excessive load balancing due to saturation, this may result in the scan rate being pegged at maximum and further overloading the machine. This patch only resets the scan if NUMA balancing is active, a preferred node has been selected and the task is being migrated from the preferred node as these are the most harmful. For example, a migration to the preferred node does not justify a faster scan rate. Similarly, a migration between two nodes that are not preferred is probably bouncing due to over-saturation of the machine. In that case, scanning faster and trapping more NUMA faults will further overload the machine.
