[PATCH v8 4/4] sched/numa: fix period_slot recalculation

Changelog:
 v3 -> v4:
  * remove period_slot recalculation

The original code is as intended and was meant to scale the difference
between the NUMA_PERIOD_THRESHOLD and local/remote ratio when adjusting
the scan period. The period_slot recalculation can be dropped.

sched/numa: Fix period_slot recalculation

The original code is as intended and was meant to scale the difference
between the NUMA_PERIOD_THRESHOLD and local/remote ratio when adjusting
the scan period. The period_slot recalculation can be dropped.

Please do not put such bits in the changelog proper, but put them below
the --- line, that way they disappear automagically.

Applied all 4, thanks!

Do you mean something like: 

commit 887c290e (sched/numa: Decide whether to favour task or group
weights
based on swap candidate relationships) drop the check against
sysctl_numa_balancing_settle_count, this patch remove the sysctl.

No need to insert another --- line, just the one below the SoB,

Everything between --- and the patch proper (usually started with an
Index line or other diff syntax thingy), including this diffstat you
have, will be made to disappear.

But yes indeed. The Changelog should describe the patch as is, and the
differences between this and the previous version are relevant only to
the reviewer who saw the previous version too. But once we commit the
patch, the previous version ceases to exist (in the commit history) and
therefore such comments loose their intrinsic meaning and should go away
too.
