It was tracked down to NUMA scanning. In this case it doesn't make any sense to unmap pages if the process is single threaded and the page is already on the node the process is running on. Add a check for this case into the numa protection code, and skip unmapping if true. In theory the process could be migrated later, but we will eventually rescan and unmap and migrate then. In theory this could be made more fancy: remembering this state per process or even whole mm. However that would need extra tracking and be more complicated, and the simple check seems to work fine so far. [ak@linux.intel.com: v3: Minor updates from Mel.
