[PATCH 34/63] sched: numa: increment numa_migrate_seq when task runs in correct location

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Mon Oct 07 2013 - 06:36:22 EST


From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

When a task is already running on its preferred node, increment
numa_migrate_seq to indicate that the task is settled if migration is
temporarily disabled, and memory should migrate towards it.

[mgorman@xxxxxxx: Only increment migrate_seq if migration temporarily disabled]
