Subject: [PATCH 23/63] sched: Resist moving tasks towards nodes with fewer hinting faults
Date: Mon,  7 Oct 2013 11:29:01 +0100

Just as "sched: Favour moving tasks towards the preferred node" favours
moving tasks towards nodes with a higher number of recorded NUMA hinting
faults, this patch resists moving tasks towards nodes with lower faults.
