| Subject | [PATCH V3 0/3] Refine numa_emulation |
| Message-ID | <u0MSZ-3ZJ-1@gated-at.bofh.it> |
My previous patch "x86/mm/numa: Remove numa_nodemask_from_meminfo()" hits a
problem in numa_emulation. The reason is numa_nodes_parsed is not set
correctly after emulation.
This patch set tries to fix this and also with two code refine.
Detailed discussions are in this thread:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/13/1230
and test result is posted :
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/10/641
V3:
* remote the error branch and split the loop into a function
* refine the comment
V2:
* refresh the change log based on David comments
* use nodes_clear()

numa_init() has already called init_func(), which is responsible for
setting numa_nodes_parsed, so use this nodemask instead of re-finding it
when calling numa_emulation().
This patch gets the physnode_mask directly from numa_nodes_parsed. At
the same time, it corrects the comment of these two functions.

By emulating numa, it may contains more or less nodes than physical nodes. In numa_emulation(), numa_meminfo/numa_distance/__apicid_to_node is restructured according to emulated nodes, except numa_nodes_parsed. This patch restructures numa_nodes_parsed from emulated nodes.

max_emu_nid and dfl_phys_nid is calculated from emu_nid_to_phys[], which is
calculated in split_nodes_xxx_interleave(). From the logic in these
functions, it is assured the emu_nid_to_phys[] has meaningful value if it
return successfully and ensures dfl_phys_nid will get a valid value.
This patch removes the error branch to check invalid dfl_phys_nid and
abstract this part to a function for readability.

So the check doesn't hurt anyone.
On the contrary - it is an "assertion" of sorts in otherwise complex
code and actually documents the fact that by then emu_nid_to_phys[]
needs to be setup properly.
And it is especially useful if someone decides to change that code in
the future, for whatever reason, and gets to hit that check - it'll even
be helpful in that case.
So I'd vote for keeping that check and not doing anything.
While we're at it, never say "this patch" in a commit message - that is
tautologically obvious.
