Kernel sees incorrect topology on 4-node Opteron

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



numactl -H reports the following node distances on kernel
2.6.27.3-perfmon #1 SMP Thu Oct 23 14:12:02 CEST 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

node distances:
node   0   1   2   3 
  0:  10  20  20  20 
  1:  20  10  20  20 
  2:  20  20  10  20 
  3:  20  20  20  10 

Also:

~/B % cat /sys/devices/system/node/node0/distance
10 20 20 20

However, the actual distance from node 0 to 3 should be greater (e.g. 30) than
the distance to nodes 1 and 2.  In other words, the kernel thinks that the
topology looks like the one on the left whereas, in reality, it looks like the
one on the right (* represents a CPU node).

The topology configuration has also been experimentally confirmed.
