From 778d3b0ff0654ad7092bf823fd32010066b12365 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 16:08:30 -0700 Subject: cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node() [ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f837 but later reverted (commit 35926ff5fba8) 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.
