See device_add(), it looks to the device's parent and on NO_NODE, puts it there. Lacking any hints, just stick it to node0 and print a FW_BUG or something. > It seems dev_to_node() does not do anything about that and leave the > job to the caller or whatever function that get called with its return > value, such as cpumask_of_node(). Well, dev_to_node() doesn't do anything; nor should it. It are the callers of set_dev_node() that should be taking care. Also note how device_add() sets the device node to the parent device's node on NUMA_NO_NODE. Arguably we should change it to complain when it finds NUMA_NO_NODE and !parent. --- 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 */
