[PATCH v2 0/2] Skip numa distance for offline nodes

[Srikar Dronamraju]

Changelog v1->v2:
v1: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210520154427.1041031-1-srikar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/t/#u
- Update the numa masks, whenever 1st CPU is added to cpuless node
- Populate all possible nodes distances in boot in a
powerpc specific function

Geetika reported yet another trace while doing a dlpar CPU add
operation. This was true even on top of a recent commit
6980d13f0dd1 ("powerpc/smp: Set numa node before updating mask") which fixed
a similar trace.

Detailed analysis of the failing scenario showed that the span in
question belongs to NODE domain and further the cpumasks for some
cpus in NODE overlapped. There are two possible reasons how we ended
up here:

(1) The numa node was offline or blank with no CPUs or memory. Hence
the sched_max_numa_distance could not be set correctly, or the
sched_domains_numa_distance happened to be partially populated.

(2) Depending on a bogus node_distance of an offline node to populate
cpumasks is the issue.  On POWER platform the node_distance is
correctly available only for an online node which has some CPU or
memory resource associated with it.

For example distance info from numactl from a fully populated 8 node
system at boot may look like this.

node distances:
node   0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7
  0:  10  20  40  40  40  40  40  40
  1:  20  10  40  40  40  40  40  40
  2:  40  40  10  20  40  40  40  40
  3:  40  40  20  10  40  40  40  40
  4:  40  40  40  40  10  20  40  40
  5:  40  40  40  40  20  10  40  40
  6:  40  40  40  40  40  40  10  20
  7:  40  40  40  40  40  40  20  10

However the same system when only two nodes are online at boot, then the
numa topology will look like
node distances:
node   0   1
  0:  10  20
  1:  20  10

This series tries to fix both these problems.
Note: These problems are now visible, thanks to
Commit ccf74128d66c ("sched/topology: Assert non-NUMA topology masks don't
(partially) overlap")
