[RFC] [PATCH] x86: don't check numa topology when setting up core siblings
From: Josef Bacik
Date: Mon Jul 28 2014 - 12:29:28 EST
We have these processors with this Cluster on die feature which shares numa
nodes between cores on different sockets. When booting up we were getting this
error with COD enabled (this is a 4 socket 12 core per CPU box)
smpboot: Booting Node 0, Processors #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 OK
------------[ cut here ]------------

#7 #8 #9 #10 #11 OK
and then the /proc/cpuinfo would show "cores: 6" instead of "cores: 12" because
the sibling map doesn't get set right. This patch fixes this. Now I realize
this is probably not the correct fix but I'm an FS guy and I don't understand
this stuff. Looking at the cpuflags with COD on and off there appears to be no
difference. The only difference I can spot is with it on we have 4 numa nodes
and with it off we have 2, but that seems like a flakey check at best to add.
I'm open to suggestions on how to fix this properly. Thanks,
