From 09c231cb8bfdc35e7d896850d34440b8553b084f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Zimmer Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:46:17 -0700 Subject: tmpfs: distribute interleave better across nodes When tmpfs has the interleave memory policy, it always starts allocating for each file from node 0 at offset 0. When there are many small files, the lower nodes fill up disproportionately. This patch spreads out node usage by starting files at nodes other than 0, by using the inode number to bias the starting node for interleave.
