This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled s390/topology: always use s390 specific sched_domain_topology_level to the 4.9-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: s390-topology-always-use-s390-specific-sched_domain_topology_level.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From ebb299a51059017ec253bd30781a83d1f6e11b24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2016 09:50:16 +0100 Subject: s390/topology: always use s390 specific sched_domain_topology_level From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx> commit ebb299a51059017ec253bd30781a83d1f6e11b24 upstream. The s390 specific sched_domain_topology_level should always be used, not only if the machine provides topology information. Luckily this odd behaviour, that was by accident introduced with git commit d05d15da18f5 ("s390/topology: delay initialization of topology cpu masks") has currently no side effect.
