The way we go + * about doing this is to build the domains on 'hops'. For each NUMA level we + * construct the mask of all nodes reachable in @level hops. + * + * For the above NUMA topology that gives 3 levels: + * + * NUMA-2 0-3 0-3 0-3 0-3 + * groups: {0-1,3},{1-3} {0-2},{0,2-3} {1-3},{0-1,3} {0,2-3},{0-2} + * + * NUMA-1 0-1,3 0-2 1-3 0,2-3 + * groups: {0},{1},{3} {0},{1},{2} {1},{2},{3} {0},{2},{3} + * + * NUMA-0 0 1 2 3 + * + * + * As can be seen; things don't nicely line up as with the regular topology. + * When we iterate a domain in child domain chunks some nodes can be + * represented multiple times -- hence the "overlap" naming for this part of + * the topology. + * + * In order to minimize this overlap, we only build enough groups to cover the + * domain. For instance Node-0 NUMA-2 would only get groups: 0-1,3 and 1-3. + * + * Because: + * + * - the first group of each domain is its child domain; this + * gets us the first 0-1,3 + * - the only uncovered node is 2, who's child domain is 1-3. + * + * However, because of the overlap, computing a unique CPU for each group is + * more complicated. Consider for instance the groups of NODE-1 NUMA-2, both + * groups include the CPUs of Node-0, while those CPUs would not in fact ever + * end up at those groups (they would end up in group: 0-1,3). + * + * To correct this we have to introduce the group iteration mask. This mask + * will contain those CPUs in the group that can reach this group given the + * (child) domain tree. + * + * With this we can once again compute balance_cpu and sched_group_capacity + * relations. + * + * XXX include words on how balance_cpu is unique and therefore can be + * used for sched_group_capacity links. + * + * + * Another 'interesting' topology is: + * + * node 0 1 2 3 + * 0: 10 20 20 30 + * 1: 20 10 20 20 + * 2: 20 20 10 20 + * 3: 30 20 20 10 + * + * Which looks a little like: + * + * 0 ----- 1 + * | / | + * | / | + * | / | + * 2 ----- 3 + * + * This topology is asymmetric, nodes 1,2 are fully connected, but nodes 0,3 + * are not. + * + * This leads to a few particularly weird cases where the sched_domain's are + * not of the same number for each cpu.
