These systems have + multiple types of memory with varied performance + characteristics instead of plain NUMA systems where + the same kind of memory is found at varied distances. + Allowing page migration during reclaim enables these + systems to migrate pages from fast tiers to slow tiers + when the fast tier is under pressure. This migration + is performed before swap. It may move data to a NUMA + node that does not fall into the cpuset of the + allocating process which might be construed to violate + the guarantees of cpusets. This should not be enabled + on systems which need strict cpuset location + guarantees. |
