The patch titled
Subject: cpu: fix node state for whether it contains CPU
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
cpu-fix-node-state-for-whether-it-contains-cpu.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: cpu: fix node state for whether it contains CPU
In current kernel code, we only call node_set_state(cpu_to_node(cpu),
N_CPU) when a cpu is hot plugged. But we do not set the node state for
N_CPU when the cpus are brought online during boot.
So this could lead to failure when we check to see if a node contains cpu
with node_state(node_id, N_CPU).
One use case is in the node_reclaime function:
/*
* Only run node reclaim on the local node or on nodes that do
* not
* have associated processors. This will favor the local
* processor
* over remote processors and spread off node memory allocations
* as wide as possible.
*/
if (node_state(pgdat->node_id, N_CPU) && pgdat->node_id !=
numa_node_id())
return NODE_RECLAIM_NOSCAN;
I instrumented the kernel to call this function after boot and it always
returns 0 on a x86 desktop machine until I apply the attached patch.
int num_cpu_node(void)
{
int i, nr_cpu_nodes = 0;
for_each_node(i) {
if (node_state(i, N_CPU))
++ nr_cpu_nodes;
}
return nr_cpu_nodes;
}
Fix this by checking each node for online CPU when we initialize
vmstat that's responsible for maintaining node state.
