It means the dev_to_node(dev) may return -1 if the bios does not
implement the proximity domain feature, user may use that value
to call cpumask_of_node and cpumask_of_node does not protect itself
from node id being -1, which causes out of bound access.

As above, the dev_to_node(dev) may return -1.

'node >= nr_node_ids' can be dropped if all user is expected to not call
cpumask_of_node with node id greater or equal to nr_nods_ids.

>From what I can see, the problem can be fixed in three place:
1. Make user dev_to_node return a valid node id even when proximity
   domain is not set by bios(or node id set by buggy bios is not valid),
   which may need info from the numa system to make sure it will return
   a valid node.

2. User that call cpumask_of_node should ensure the node id is valid
   before calling cpumask_of_node, and user also need some info to
   make ensure node id is valid.

3. Make sure cpumask_of_node deal with invalid node id as this patchset.

Which one do you prefer to make sure node id is valid, or do you
have any better idea?

Any detail advice and suggestion will be very helpful, thanks.
