[patch] x86, numa: Add error handling for bad cpu-to-node mappings

From: David Rientjes
Date: Mon Feb 07 2011 - 17:09:08 EST


CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS may return NUMA_NO_NODE when an
early_cpu_to_node() mapping hasn't been initialized. In such a case, it
emits a warning and continues without an issue but callers may try to use
the return value to index into an array.

We can catch those errors and fail silently since a warning has already
been emitted. No current user of numa_add_cpu() requires this error
checking to avoid a crash, but it's better to be proactive in case a
future user happens to have a bug and a user tries to diagnose it with
CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS.
