    mm: numa: Support NUMA hinting page faults from gup/gup_fast · 0b9d7052
    Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
    Introduce FOLL_NUMA to tell follow_page to check
    pte/pmd_numa. get_user_pages must use FOLL_NUMA, and it's safe to do
    so because it always invokes handle_mm_fault and retries the
    follow_page later.
    
    KVM secondary MMU page faults will trigger the NUMA hinting page
    faults through gup_fast -> get_user_pages -> follow_page ->
    handle_mm_fault.
    
    Other follow_page callers like KSM should not use FOLL_NUMA, or they
    would fail to get the pages if they use follow_page instead of
    get_user_pages.
