I suspect something must be different in your setup. Maybe it is that you are adding a cpu that is outside of possible cpus intialized during boot time. Those should have their nodes initialized properly - at least per init_cpu_to_node. Your report doesn't really explain how the cpu is hotadded. Maybe you are trying to do something that has never been supported on x86. It would be really great if you can provide more information in the original email thread. E.g. boot time messges and then more details about the hotplug operation as well (e.g. which cpu, the node association, how it is injected to the guest etc.). Thanks! -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
