Is it possible that the node id set by device_add() become invalid if the node is offlined, then dev_to_node() may return a invalid node id. >From the comment in select_fallback_rq(), it seems that a node can be offlined, not sure if node offline process has taken cared of that? /* * If the node that the CPU is on has been offlined, cpu_to_node() * will return -1. There is no CPU on the node, and we should * select the CPU on the other node. */ With the above assumption that a device is always on a valid node, the node id returned from dev_to_node() can be safely passed to cpumask_of_node() without any checking? > > --- > drivers/base/core.c | 12 ++++++++++-- > 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/base/core.c b/drivers/base/core.c > index f0dd8e38fee3..2caf204966a0 100644 > --- a/drivers/base/core.c > +++ b/drivers/base/core.c > @@ -2120,8 +2120,16 @@ int device_add(struct device *dev) > dev->kobj.parent = kobj; > > /* use parent numa_node */ > - if (parent && (dev_to_node(dev) == NUMA_NO_NODE)) > - set_dev_node(dev, dev_to_node(parent)); > + if (dev_to_node(dev) == NUMA_NO_NODE) { > + if (parent) > + set_dev_node(dev, dev_to_node(parent)); > +#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA > + else { > + pr_err("device: '%s': has no assigned NUMA node\n", dev_name(dev)); > + set_dev_node(dev, 0); > + } > +#endif > + } > > /* first, register with generic layer. */ > /* we require the name to be set before, and pass NULL */ > > . >
