Subject: powerpc/numa: set numa_node for all possible cpus
Patch series "Offline memoryless cpuless node 0", v5.
Linux kernel configured with CONFIG_NUMA on a system with multiple
possible nodes, marks node 0 as online at boot. However in practice,
there are systems which have node 0 as memoryless and cpuless.
This can cause
1. numa_balancing to be enabled on systems with only one online node.
2. Existence of dummy (cpuless and memoryless) node which can confuse
users/scripts looking at output of lscpu / numactl.
This patchset wants to correct this anomaly.
This should only affect systems that have CONFIG_MEMORYLESS_NODES.
Currently there are only 2 architectures ia64 and powerpc that have
this config.
Note: Patch 3 in this patch series depends on patches 1 and 2. Without
patches 1 and 2, patch 3 might crash powerpc.
This patch (of 3):
A Powerpc system with multiple possible nodes and with CONFIG_NUMA enabled
always used to have a node 0, even if node 0 does not any cpus or memory
attached to it. As per PAPR, node affinity of a cpu is only available
once its present / online. For all cpus that are possible but not
present, cpu_to_node() would point to node 0.
To ensure a cpuless, memoryless dummy node is not online, powerpc need to
make sure all possible but not present cpu_to_node are set to a proper
node.
