    cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node() · 778d3b0f
    Michal Hocko authored
    [ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0 but later
      reverted (commit 35926ff5) because it itroduced arch specific
      __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
      archs.  This is a followup without any arch specific code.  Other than
      that there are no functional changes.]
    
    Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
    too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems).  Part of the reason is
    that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
    at node 0 for newly created tasks.
    
    This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
    of the cpuset.
