[PATCH] x86: use near online node instead of round bin for numa

From: Yinghai Lu
Date: Sat Oct 03 2009 - 14:27:54 EST



cpu to node mapping is set in following sequence:
1. numa_init_array: set up roundbin from cpu to online node
2. init_cpu_to_node: set that according to apicid_to_node[] according to srat
only handle that node is online, and leave other cpu on node
without ram (aka not online) to still round-bin
3. later srat_detect_node for intel/amd, will use first_online node or near by
node.

problem is that setup_per_cpu_areas() is called between 2 and 3. the per_cpu
for cpu on node with ram is on different node. and could put that on node with
two hops away.

so try add find_near_online_node() and call int init_cpu_to_node()
