[PATCH 57/63] sched: numa: Take false sharing into account when adapting scan rate

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Mon Oct 07 2013 - 06:33:55 EST


Scan rate is altered based on whether shared/private faults dominated.
task_numa_group() may detect false sharing but that information is not
taken into account when adapting the scan rate. Take it into account.
