[PATCH v3] NUMA: Early use of cpu_to_node() returns 0 instead of the correct node id
From: Huang Shijie
Date: Fri Jan 26 2024 - 03:15:47 EST
During the kernel booting, the generic cpu_to_node() is called too early in
arm64, powerpc and riscv when CONFIG_NUMA is enabled.
There are at least four places in the common code where
the generic cpu_to_node() is called before it is initialized:
1.) early_trace_init() in kernel/trace/trace.c
2.) sched_init() in kernel/sched/core.c
3.) init_sched_fair_class() in kernel/sched/fair.c
4.) workqueue_init_early() in kernel/workqueue.c
In order to fix the bug, the patch introduces early_numa_node_init()
which is called after smp_prepare_boot_cpu() in start_kernel.
early_numa_node_init will initialize the "numa_node" as soon as
the early_cpu_to_node() is ready, before the cpu_to_node() is called
at the first time.

v2 --> v3:
Do not change the cpu_to_node to function pointer.
Introduce early_numa_node_init() which initialize
the numa_node at an early stage.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240123045843.75969-1-shijie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
v1 --> v2:
In order to fix the x86 compiling error, move the cpu_to_node()
from driver/base/arch_numa.c to driver/base/node.c.
