Hi, Qunqin,

On the Loongson platform, each node is equipped with a security engine
device. However, due to a hardware flaw, only the device on node 0 can
trigger interrupts. Therefore, interrupts from other nodes are forwarded
by node 0. We need to check in the interrupt handler of node 0 whether
this interrupt is intended for other nodes.
Multi-node or multi-package? In my opinion SE has no relationship with
NUMA node, so maybe package?
Here is the output of lscpu from my machine:

There are four SE devices in my system, one for each NUMA node.
For Loongson-3C6000 node is the same as package. You should consider
Loongson-3C5000L, one package contains four nodes.
I am not familiar with the SE-related components on the 3C5000L, and
this driver is not compatible with the 5000 series.
Whether it is compatible to Loongson-3C5000L is not important. The
importance is package is not always equal to node, and we should
consider whether SE is per-node or per-package.

Hi, huacai

After consulting with  hardware team, I learned that while the 3C5000L
has four SE devices, only one is utilized due to interrupt constraints.

Thanks,

Qunqin
