During Numa scanning make sure only relevant vmas of the tasks are scanned. Before: All the tasks of a process participate in scanning the vma even if they do not access vma in it's lifespan. Now: Except cases of first few unconditional scans, if a process do not touch vma (exluding false positive cases of PID collisions) tasks no longer scan all vma Logic used: 1) 6 bits of PID used to mark active bit in vma numab status during fault to remember PIDs accessing vma. (Thanks Mel) 2) Subsequently in scan path, vma scanning is skipped if current PID had not accessed vma. 3) First two times we do allow unconditional scan to preserve earlier behaviour of scanning.

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.
