Ah OK. So I assume the other SD is CLS with 2 CPUs?

Does this mean you guys have recently changed the sched topology on this
thing? I still remember setups with 2 CPUs in MC and 80 CPUs on PKG.

If this is the case, is:

db1e59483dfd - topology: make core_mask include at least
cluster_siblings (2022-04-20 Darren Hart)

still needed in this case?

I can't imagine that you run EAS on this machine? It needs heterogeneous
CPUs which you shouldn't have. Looks like that Christian L. was asking
you already on your v2.
