[PATCH] sched/numa: Fix NUMA_DIRECT topology identification

From: Aravind Gopalakrishnan
Date: Mon Aug 10 2015 - 21:03:12 EST


Systems which have all nodes at a distance of at most
1 hop should be identified as 'NUMA_DIRECT'.

However, the scheduler incorrectly identifies it as
'NUMA_BACKPLANE'. This is because 'n' is assigned to
sched_max_numa_distance but the code (mis)interprets it
to mean 'number of hops'.

Rik had actually used sched_domains_numa_levels for detecting
a 'NUMA_DIRECT' topology-
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=141279712429834&w=2

But that was changed when he removed the hops table in the
subsequent version-
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=141353106106771&w=2

Fixing the issue here.
