A simple use case is when a user run his application interleaving all nodes using "numactl --interleave=all xxxx". But after khugepaged started most pages of his application will be located to only one specific node. I have a simple patch fix this issue in thread: [PATCH 2/2] mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target node I think this may related with this topic, I don't know whether this series can also fix the issue I mentioned. -- Regards, -Bob -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
