Parent article: The new NUMA scheduler

I wrote the "3-line" patch to show how non-invasive a NUMA scheduler could be. It also changes the design of the NUMA scheduler to become a set of "concentric circles" as far as load-balance is concerned - I think this is a better design.

IMO, in the post-freeze environment, the only way to proceed is small, well contained patches that obviously don't break anyone else ...
