as long as the task on whose behalf the kernel allocated some memory does not
later migrate away from that memory. The Linux scheduler is aware of the
NUMA topology of the platform--embodied in the "scheduling domains" data

attempts to minimize task migration to distant scheduling domains. However,
the scheduler does not take a task's NUMA footprint into account directly.
Thus, under sufficient imbalance, tasks can migrate between nodes, remote
