Is that correct?

It looks like the code only jumps to the out_backoff label
after resetting p->numa_scan_period to sysctl_sched_numa_scan_period_min
in sched_setnuma?

Should it not be the other way around, slowly increasing the process's
numa_scan_period when we do NOT do a sched_setnuma call for the process
at all?

We can never reach the backoff code, except by an explicit goto,
which is only there after a call to sched_setnuma.

That is the opposite from what the changelog suggests...
