"scheduler fixes:
These fixes address a rather involved performance regression between
v4.17->v4.19 in the sched/numa auto-balancing code. Since distros
really need this fix we accelerated it to sched/urgent for a faster
upstream merge.
NUMA scheduling and balancing performance is now largely back to
v4.17 levels, without reintroducing the NUMA placement bugs that
v4.18 and v4.19 fixed.
Many thanks to Srikar Dronamraju, Mel Gorman and Jirka Hladky, for
reporting, testing, re-testing and solving this rather complex set of
bugs."
* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/numa: Migrate pages to local nodes quicker early in the lifetime of a task
mm, sched/numa: Remove rate-limiting of automatic NUMA balancing migration
sched/numa: Avoid task migration for small NUMA improvement
mm/migrate: Use spin_trylock() while resetting rate limit
sched/numa: Limit the conditions where scan period is reset
sched/numa: Reset scan rate whenever task moves across nodes
sched/numa: Pass destination CPU as a parameter to migrate_task_rq
sched/numa: Stop multiple tasks from moving to the CPU at the same time
