Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2013 16:20:06 +0100 From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de> To: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>, Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...nel.org>, Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@...hat.com>, Johannes Weiner <hannes@...xchg.org>, Linux-MM <linux-mm@...ck.org>, LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de> Subject: [PATCH 04/18] mm: numa: Do not migrate or account for hinting faults on the zero page The zero page is not replicated between nodes and is often shared between processes. The data is read-only and likely to be cached in local CPUs if heavily accessed meaning that the remote memory access cost is less of a concern. This patch stops accounting for numa hinting faults on the zero page in both terms of counting faults and scheduling tasks on nodes.
