Title:
[Feature]mm, hugetlb: use memory policy when available
Status in intel:
Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
We have a hugetlbfs user which is never explicitly allocating huge pages with
'nr_hugepages'. They only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and then let the pages
be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault time.
This works, but they noticed that mbind() was not doing them any good and the
pages were being allocated without respect for the policy they specified.
Platform: KNL
Implemented in 4.4 kernel with:
099730d mm, hugetlb: use memory policy when available
e0ec90e mm, hugetlbfs: optimize when NUMA=n
