[PATCH v2 12/12] mempolicy: migration attempt to match interleave nodes

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Tue Oct 03 2023 - 05:29:07 EST


Improve alloc_migration_target_by_mpol()'s treatment of MPOL_INTERLEAVE.

Make an effort in do_mbind(), to identify the correct interleave index
for the first page to be migrated, so that it and all subsequent pages
from the same vma will be targeted to precisely their intended nodes.
Pages from following vmas will still be interleaved from the requested
nodemask, but perhaps starting from a different base.

Whether this is worth doing at all, or worth improving further, is
arguable: queue_folio_required() is right not to care about the precise
placement on interleaved nodes; but this little effort seems appropriate.
