Could you check why? I assume init_cpu_to_node doesn't see any CPU pointing at this node. Wondering why that would be the case but that can be a bug in the affinity tables. > vCPU/node hot add works. > Onlining works as well, but with warning.

There are changes required on the hotplug side.

AFAIU your issue has been reproducible during boot and that seems to be fixed. I will work on the hotplug side of the things and post something resembling a real patch soon. That would require also memory hotplug testing. Thanks for your help! -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
