Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

In auto NUMA balancing page table scanning, if the pte_protnone() is true, the PTE needs not to be changed because it's in target state already. So other checking on corresponding struct page is unnecessary too. So, if we check pte_protnone() firstly for each PTE, we can avoid unnecessary struct page accessing, so that reduce the cache footprint of NUMA balancing page table scanning. In the performance test of pmbench memory accessing benchmark with 80:20 read/write ratio and normal access address distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optance DC Persistent Memory, perf profiling shows that the autonuma page table scanning time reduces from 1.23% to 0.97% (that is, reduced 21%) with the patch.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
