sched/numa: Do not move past the balance point if unbalanced
There is a subtle interaction between the logic introduced in commit
e63da03639
("sched/numa: Allow task switch if load imbalance improves"),
the way the load balancer counts the load on each NUMA node, and the way
NUMA hinting faults are done.
Specifically, the load balancer only counts currently running tasks
in the load, while NUMA hinting faults may cause tasks to stop, if
the page is locked by another task.
This could cause all of the threads of a large single instance workload,
like SPECjbb2005, to migrate to the same NUMA node. This was possible
because occasionally they all fault on the same few pages, and only one
of the threads remains runnable. That thread can move to the process's
preferred NUMA node without making the imbalance worse, because nothing
else is running at that time.
The fix is to check the direction of the net moving of load, and to
refuse a NUMA move if it would cause the system to move past the point
of balance. In an unbalanced state, only moves that bring us closer
to the balance point are allowed.
