This needs a little more thought as if we follow above sequence there isn't currently any cleanup of /sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpuB/node link. If you follow the sequence above an attempt is made to create it again. Whilst I have a WIP bit of dancing code that deals with this it is ugly as the check on whether a node is online needs to be dropped on this path. The problem coming back to the tear down and setup paths being in entirely different states and not remotely symmetric. So my proposal for now is to treat the whole numa node problem as something for another day. Step 1) For ARM64 cpu hp - NUMA nodes created at boot for any present CPUs - so all of them. They never go away, hence no annoying tear down to do. Step 2) We can consider moving to dynamic numa node handling either via the messy approach I have working, or via more major surgery. I have a bunch of other work in this area for memory hotplug, so maybe I can role those 2 activities together.
