[PATCH 24/33] sched: Implement NUMA scanning backoff

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
Date: 2012-11-22 22:55:08
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: scheduler, the rest · Maintainers: Ingo Molnar, Peter Zijlstra, Juri Lelli, Vincent Guittot, Linus Torvalds

Back off slowly from scanning, up to sysctl_sched_numa_scan_period_max
(1.6 seconds). Scan faster again if we were forced to switch to
another node.

This makes sure that workload in equilibrium don't get scanned as often
as workloads that are still converging.
