Subject: cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()
Hi,
I have revisited and fixed the following patch. I am keeping Jack's and
Lee's s-o-b and all others are CCed because I am not exactly sure who
worked on the patch originally.
Can we consider it for re-inclusion?

Subject: [PATCH] cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()
[This patch has already been accepted as 0ac0c0d but later reverted
(35926ff) because it itroduced arch specific __node_random which was
defined only for x86 code so it broke other archs.
This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than that there
are no functional changes.]
Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is that
the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at
node 0 for newly created tasks.
This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of
the cpuset.
[akpm@...ux-foundation.org: fix layout]
[Lee.Schermerhorn@...com: Define stub numa_random() for !NUMA configuration]
[mhocko@...e.cz: Make it arch independent]
