From a8f6077213d285ca08dbf6d4a67470787388138b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2012 21:41:46 +0000 Subject: mm: numa: Rate limit the amount of memory that is migrated between nodes NOTE: This is very heavily based on similar logic in autonuma. It should be signed off by Andrea but because there was no standalone patch and it's sufficiently different from what he did that the signed-off is omitted. Will be added back if requested. If a large number of pages are misplaced then the memory bus can be saturated just migrating pages between nodes. This patch rate-limits the amount of memory that can be migrating between nodes.
