From 4aede84b33d6beb401136a3deca0651ae07c5e99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin TerAvest Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2011 08:31:45 +0200 Subject: fixlet: Remove fs_excl from struct task. fs_excl is a poor man's priority inheritance for filesystems to hint to the block layer that an operation is important. It was never clearly specified, not widely adopted, and will not prevent starvation in many cases (like across cgroups). fs_excl was introduced with the time sliced CFQ IO scheduler, to indicate when a process held FS exclusive resources and thus needed a boost. It doesn't cover all file systems, and it was never fully complete. Lets kill it.

This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than that there are no functional changes.] Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at node 0 for newly created tasks. This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of the cpuset.
