From 6eaf806a223e61dc5f2de4ab591f11beb97a8f3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 01:25:30 -0700 Subject: Memoryless nodes: Fix interleave behavior for memoryless nodes MPOL_INTERLEAVE currently simply loops over all nodes. Allocations on memoryless nodes will be redirected to nodes with memory. This results in an imbalance because the neighboring nodes to memoryless nodes will get significantly more interleave hits that the rest of the nodes on the system. We can avoid this imbalance by clearing the nodes in the interleave node set that have no memory. If we use the node map of the memory nodes instead of the online nodes then we have only the nodes we want.
