Look at the above code,  int __build_all_zonelists(),  cpu_to_mem(cpu)
is set only when cpu is onlined.  Suppose that a node with local memory,
all memory segments are onlined first, and then,  cpus within that node
are onlined one by one,  in this case,  where does the cpu_to_mem(cpu)
for the last cpu get its value ?



So, cpu_to_node(cpu) for possible cpus will have NUMA_NO_NODE(-1)
or the number of the nearest node.

IIUC, if SRAT is not broken, all pxm has its own node_id.

Thank you very much for the info,  I have been thinking why node_id
is (-1) in some cases.
