+Subject: xen/gntdev: Grant maps should not be subject to NUMA balancing
+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/9c17d96500f78d7ecdb71ca6942830158bc75a2b
+Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/810472
+
+Doing so will cause the grant to be unmapped and then, during
+fault handling, the fault to be mistakenly treated as NUMA hint
+fault.
+
+In addition, even if those maps could partcipate in NUMA
+balancing, it wouldn't provide any benefit since we are unable
+to determine physical page's node (even if/when VNUMA is
+implemented).
+
+Marking grant maps' VMAs as VM_IO will exclude them from being
+part of NUMA balancing.
