[PATCH 15/18] mm: numa: Trace tasks that fail migration due to rate limiting

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Mon Dec 09 2013 - 02:10:37 EST


A low local/remote numa hinting fault ratio is potentially explained by
failed migrations. This patch adds a tracepoint that fires when migration
fails due to migration rate limitation.
