[RFC Patch V1 00/30] Enable memoryless node on x86 platforms

From: Jiang Liu
Date: Fri Jul 11 2014 - 03:35:22 EST


Previously we have posted a patch fix a memory crash issue caused by
memoryless node on x86 platforms, please refer to
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1687425

As suggested by David Rientjes, the most suitable fix for the issue
should be to use cpu_to_mem() rather than cpu_to_node() in the caller.
So this is the patchset according to David's suggestion.

Patch 1-26 prepare for enabling memoryless node on x86 platforms by
replacing cpu_to_node()/numa_node_id() with cpu_to_mem()/numa_mem_id().
Patch 27-29 enable support of memoryless node on x86 platforms.
Patch 30 tunes order to online NUMA node when doing CPU hot-addition.

This patchset fixes the issue mentioned by Mike Galbraith that CPUs
are associated with wrong node after adding memory to a memoryless
node.

With support of memoryless node enabled, it will correctly report system
hardware topology for nodes without memory installed.

With memoryless node enabled, CPUs are correctly associated with node 2
after memory hot-addition to node 2.

The patchset is based on the latest mainstream kernel and has been
tested on a 4-socket Intel platform with CPU/memory hot-addition
capability.

Any comments are welcomed!
