6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Raghavendra K T <raghavendra.kt@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2e2675db1906ac04809f5399bf1f5e30d56a6f3e ] Recent NUMA hinting faulting activity is reset approximately every VMA_PID_RESET_PERIOD milliseconds. However, if the current task has not accessed a VMA then the reset check is missed and the reset is potentially deferred forever. Check if the PID activity information should be reset before checking if the current task recently trapped a NUMA hinting fault.
