From: Rik van Riel <[email protected]> When tasks have not converged on their preferred nodes yet, we want to retry fairly often, to make sure we do not migrate a task's memory to an undesirable location, only to have to move it again later.
This patch reduces the interval at which migration is retried, when the task's numa_scan_period is small.
