Take a look at the last part of commit 3af229f2071f for file numa.c. It undoes a piece of code that restricts the 'node possible map', created earlier, to the set of online nodes. That piece of code has not made it into the mainline, at least not into 4.12. I am testing to verify whether it is sufficient for my configuration now. > > cheers > Regards. -- Michael W.
