This is the structure holding the per-thread NUMA statistics generated by the NUMA hinting page faults. This per-thread NUMA statistical information is needed by sched_autonuma_balance to make optimal NUMA balancing decisions. It also contains the task_selected_nid which hints the stock CPU scheduler on the best NUMA node to schedule this thread on (as decided by sched_autonuma_balance). The reason for keeping this outside of the task_struct besides not using too much kernel stack, is to only allocate it on NUMA hardware. So the non NUMA hardware only pays the memory of a pointer in the kernel stack (which remains NULL at all times in that case). If the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_AUTONUMA=n, not even the pointer is allocated on the kernel stack of course.
