[PATCH] x86/platform/uv: Use alternate source for socket to node data
Posted by Steve Wahl 2 years, 1 month ago 
When nr_cpus is set to a smaller number than actually present, the
cpu_to_node() mapping information for unused CPUs is not available to
build_socket_tables().  This results in an incomplete table and will
later cause use of a -1 value for some array indexing, and eventual
kernel page faults.

Switch to using the __apicid_to_node array, which still contains all
the information mapping apicids to nodes, even for CPUs disabled with
a reduced nr_cpus setting.

This is essentially version 2 of "[PATCH] x86/platform/uv: Abort UV
initialization when reduced nr_cpus requires it".  However, the title
was no longer accurate, aborting UV initialization is no longer needed.

Before, the lookup went:

	CPU => APICID => SOCKET

But when the CPU wasn't present, there wasn't a way to start this lookup.

So, instead of looping over all CPUs, looking up their APICIDs and
mapping those to sockets, just take CPUs out of the equation entirely.

Loop over all APICIDs which are mapped to a valid NUMA node.  Then just
extract the socket-id from the APICID.

Right?

That seems sane enough.  It's also way less code than the previous approach.

Yes.  That's it precisely.  And, yes, way less code.

Thanks.

Does this need a stable@ tag when it gets applied?

I hadn't thought about that.  I think it meets the requirements in
stable-kernel-rules.rst.  And it looks like it should apply without
conflicts or prerequisites.  So it probably should.  Is there a way to
add a cc:stable tag at this point?

Thank you,

I can do it when I apply it.  I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a
good reason you left off the cc:stable.

No reason, it was an oversight.
