static void task_tick_fair(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *curr, int queued)
{
...
if (static_branch_unlikely(&sched_numa_balancing))
task_tick_numa(rq, curr);
...
}
static void task_tick_numa(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *curr)
{
...
if (!READ_ONCE(curr->mm->numa_balancing))
return;
...
}
When global numa_balancing is disabled, mm->numa_balancing is useless.
So I think
prctl(PR_NUMA_BALANCING, PR_SET_NUMA_BALANCING,0/1) should return an
error instead of modifying mm->numa_balancing.
Is it reasonable that prctl(PR_NUMA_BALANCING,PR_SET_NUMA_BALANCING,0/1)
can still change the value of mm->numa_balancing when global numa_balancing is
disabled?
