sched/numa: Fix mm numa_scan_seq based unconditional scan
Since commit fc137c0d ("sched/numa: enhance vma scanning logic") NUMA Balancing allows updating PTEs to trap NUMA hinting faults if the task had previously accessed VMA. However unconditional scan of VMAs are allowed during initial phase of VMA creation until process's mm numa_scan_seq reaches 2 even though current task had not accessed VMA. Rationale: - Without initial scan subsequent PTE update may never happen. - Give fair opportunity to all the VMAs to be scanned and subsequently understand the access pattern of all the VMAs. But it has a corner case where, if a VMA is created after some time, process's mm numa_scan_seq could be already greater than 2. For e.g., values of mm numa_scan_seq when VMAs are created by running mmtest autonuma benchmark briefly looks like: start_seq=0 : 459 start_seq=2 : 138 start_seq=3 : 144 start_seq=4 : 8 start_seq=8 : 1 start_seq=9 : 1 This results in no unconditional PTE updates for those VMAs created after some time. Fix: - Note down the initial value of mm numa_scan_seq in per VMA start_seq. - Allow unconditional scan till start_seq + 2.
