[PATCH v3] x86/numa_emulation: Fix uniform-split numa emulation

From: Dan Williams
Date: Thu Oct 25 2018 - 16:38:37 EST


From: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@xxxxxxxxx>

The numa_emulation() routine in the 'uniform' case walks through all the
physical 'memblk' instances and divides them into N emulated nodes with
split_nodes_size_interleave_uniform(). As each physical node is consumed
it is removed from the physical memblk array in the
numa_remove_memblk_from() helper. Since
split_nodes_size_interleave_uniform() handles advancing the array as the
'memblk' is consumed it is expected that the base of the array is always
specified as the argument.

Otherwise, on multi-socket (> 2) configurations the uniform-split
capability can generate an invalid numa configuration leading to boot
failures with signatures like the following:

rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
