From 3cf1962cdbf6b3a9e3ef21116d215bbab350ea37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 17:12:44 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] sched,numa: add cond_resched to task_numa_work Normally task_numa_work scans over a fairly small amount of memory, but it is possible to run into a large unpopulated part of virtual memory, with no pages mapped. In that case, task_numa_work can run for a while, and it may make sense to reschedule as required.
