Re: [PATCH v5 0/2] sched/numa: introduce numa locality

[çè]

Hi Peter, Ingo

We have reformed the implementation for several times, now it's very
simple and easy to use, there are also a document to guide admin on
how to use not only the NUMA locality, but also other per-cgroup NUMA
statistics, we hope this could make things easier for other NUMA users.

As now there are no more comments, would you please take a look at this
patch set, see if it's good enough to be picked?

Regards,
Michael Wang
