Thanks, I finally got things to work. I am on x86. It's a dual-socket
machine with SubNUMA clusters (2 nodes per socket) and NVDIMMs (one
dax-kmem node per socket). Before adding a GI, initiators look like this:
node0 -> node0 and node4
node1 -> node1 and node5
node2 -> node2 and node4
node3 -> node3 and node5
I added a GI with faster access to node0, node2, node4 (first socket).
The GI node becomes an access0 initiator for node4, and node0 and node2
remain access1 initiators.
The GI node doesn't become access0 initiator for node0 and node2, likely
because of this test :
/*
* If the Address Range Structure provides a local processor pxm, link
* only that one. Otherwise, find the best performance attributes and
* register all initiators that match.
*/
if (target->processor_pxm != PXM_INVAL) {
I guess I should split node0-3 into separate CPU nodes and memory nodes
in SRAT?
