Mel Gorman b7a5b537c5 sched/numa: Complete scanning of partial VMAs regardless of PID activity
NUMA Balancing skips VMAs when the current task has not trapped a NUMA
fault within the VMA. If the VMA is skipped then mm->numa_scan_offset
advances and a task that is trapping faults within the VMA may never
fully update PTEs within the VMA.

Force tasks to update PTEs for partially scanned PTEs. The VMA will
be tagged for NUMA hints by some task but this removes some of the
benefit of tracking PID activity within a VMA. A follow-on patch
will mitigate this problem.

The test cases and machines evaluated did not trigger the corner case so
the performance results are neutral with only small changes within the
noise from normal test-to-test variance. However, the next patch makes
the corner case easier to trigger.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
