which is an administrative mechanism for restricting the nodes from which
memory may be allocated by a set of processes. Memory policies are a
programming interface that a NUMA-aware application can take advantage of. When
Larger installations usually partition the system using cpusets into
sections of nodes. Paul Jackson has equipped cpusets with the ability to
-move pages when a task is moved to another cpuset (See ../cpusets.txt).
+move pages when a task is moved to another cpuset (See
+Documentation/cgroups/cpusets.txt).
Cpusets allows the automation of process locality. If a task is moved to
a new cpuset then also all its pages are moved with it so that the
performance of the process does not sink dramatically. Also the pages
assign them to cpusets and their attached tasks. This is a way of limiting the
amount of system memory that are available to a certain class of tasks.
