[PATCH] driver core: ensure a device has valid node id in device_add()

From: Yunsheng Lin
Date: Mon Sep 09 2019 - 02:07:03 EST


Currently a device does not belong to any of the numa nodes
(dev->numa_node is NUMA_NO_NODE) when the node id is neither
specified by fw nor by virtual device layer and the device has
no parent device.

According to discussion in [1]:
Even if a device's numa node is not specified, the device really
does belong to a node.

This patch sets the device node to node 0 in device_add() if the
device's node id is not specified and it either has no parent
device, or the parent device also does not have a valid node id.
