+numa_stat
+
+This interface allows runtime configuration of numa statistics.
+
+When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can tolerate
+some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter precision, you can
+do:
+ echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat
+
+When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all
+tooling to work, you can do:
+ echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat
