This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled powerpc/papr_scm: Update the NUMA distance table for the target node to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: powerpc-papr_scm-update-the-numa-distance-table-for-.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6f10cc2df7a3f21bcf639e9b787b21fa262f7d4c Author: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 4 09:44:33 2023 +0530 powerpc/papr_scm: Update the NUMA distance table for the target node [ Upstream commit b277fc793daf258877b4c0744b52f69d6e6ba22e ] Platform device helper routines won't update the NUMA distance table while creating a platform device, even if the device is present on a NUMA node that doesn't have memory or CPU. This is especially true for pmem devices. If the target node of the pmem device is not online, we find the nearest online node to the device and associate the pmem device with that online node. To find the nearest online node, we should have the numa distance table updated correctly. Update the distance information during the device probe. For a papr scm device on NUMA node 3 distance_lookup_table value for distance_ref_points_depth = 2 before and after fix is below: Before fix: node 3 distance depth 0 - 0 node 3 distance depth 1 - 0 node 4 distance depth 0 - 4 node 4 distance depth 1 - 2 node 5 distance depth 0 - 5 node 5 distance depth 1 - 1 After fix node 3 distance depth 0 - 3 node 3 distance depth 1 - 1 node 4 distance depth 0 - 4 node 4 distance depth 1 - 2 node 5 distance depth 0 - 5 node 5 distance depth 1 - 1 Without the fix, the nearest numa node to the pmem device (NUMA node 3) will be picked as 4. After the fix, we get the correct numa node which is 5.
