[PATCH 0/3 v3] x86/smpboot: Fix panic in __max_logical_packages estimate
From: Prarit Bhargava
Date: Thu Oct 19 2017 - 11:57:23 EST
A system booted with a small number of cores enabled per package
panics because the estimate of __max_logical_packages is too low.
This occurs when the total number of active cores across all packages
is less than the maximum core count for a single package.
Andi noted that the logical_packages calculation wastes 128k on 64-bit
x86 systems and posted patches to fix the allocation. I have put my
fix on top of those patches.
Here's an example of the panic:
smpboot: Booting Node 1, Processors #1 OK
smpboot: Package 1 of CPU 1 exceeds BIOS package data 1.
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1087!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
Modules linked in:
CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 4.14.0-rc2+ #4
This was tested by dropping the number of active cores across
all packages to reproduce the bug above. Additional testing included
2 socket and 4 socket systems and hotplugging entire sockets in different
order.
