System uses numa Interleave mode as default policy?

Hi,

it seems that my system (4-socket system) is
interleaving pages across all numa nodes.

The default should be local allocation?

I tried this out using the stream benchmark and pinned
the single thread to a single cpu with taskset.

numa_balancing is disabled.

Can I configure the default memory policy or is there
something wrong?

Configuration:

$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux
root=UUID=294db3db-d278-4b20-9199-f5ac6926efaf rw console=tty0
console=ttyS0,115200 numa_balancing=disable nomodeset quiet

$ uname -a
Linux inwest 3.12.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 20 19:39:00 CET 2013
x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here is how i produced the output:

wget www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/FTP/Code/stream.c
gcc -mcmodel=medium -O -DSTREAM_ARRAY_SIZE=100000000 stream.c -o stream.100M

taskset -c 0 ./stream.100M 1> /dev/null & watch -n 1 numastat -cp $!
