This reverts commitad6b26b6a0. This commit introduces per-memcg/task NUMA balance statistics, but unfortunately it introduced a NULL pointer exception due to the following race condition: After a swap task candidate was chosen, its mm_struct pointer was set to NULL due to task exit. Later, when performing the actual task swapping, the p->mm caused the problem. CPU0 CPU1 : ... task_numa_migrate task_numa_find_cpu task_numa_compare # a normal task p is chosen env->best_task = p # p exit: exit_signals(p); p->flags |= PF_EXITING exit_mm p->mm = NULL; migrate_swap_stop __migrate_swap_task((arg->src_task, arg->dst_cpu) count_memcg_event_mm(p->mm, NUMA_TASK_SWAP)# p->mm is NULL task_lock() should be held and the PF_EXITING flag needs to be checked to prevent this from happening. After discussion, the conclusion was that adding a lock is not worthwhile for some statistics calculations. Revert the change and rely on the tracepoint for this purpose.
