[PATCH 5/9] numa, mm, sched: Fix NUMA affinity tracking logic

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Thu Dec 06 2012 - 19:19:40 EST


Support for the p->numa_policy affinity tracking by the scheduler
went missing during the mm/ unification: revive and integrate it
properly.

( This in particular fixes NUMA_POLICY_MANYBUDDIES, which
bug caused a few regressions in various workloads such as
numa01 and regressed !THP workloads in particular. )
