[PATCH v2 05/19] sched/numa: Use task faults only if numa_group is not yet setup

From: Srikar Dronamraju
Date: Wed Jun 20 2018 - 13:07:26 EST


When numa_group faults are available, task_numa_placement only uses
numa_group faults to evaluate preferred node. However it still accounts
task faults and even evaluates the preferred node just based on task
faults just to discard it in favour of preferred node chosen on the
basis of numa_group.

Instead use task faults only if numa_group is not set.
