In commit8c27226119("powerpc/numa: Enable USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID"), we switched to the generic implementation of cpu_to_node(), which uses a percpu variable to hold the NUMA node for each CPU. Unfortunately we neglected to notice that we use cpu_to_node() in the allocation of our percpu areas, leading to a chicken and egg problem. In practice what happens is when we are setting up the percpu areas, cpu_to_node() reports that all CPUs are on node 0, so we allocate all percpu areas on node 0. This is visible in the dmesg output, as all pcpu allocs being in group 0: pcpu-alloc: [0] 00 01 02 03 [0] 04 05 06 07 pcpu-alloc: [0] 08 09 10 11 [0] 12 13 14 15 pcpu-alloc: [0] 16 17 18 19 [0] 20 21 22 23 pcpu-alloc: [0] 24 25 26 27 [0] 28 29 30 31 pcpu-alloc: [0] 32 33 34 35 [0] 36 37 38 39 pcpu-alloc: [0] 40 41 42 43 [0] 44 45 46 47 To fix it we need an early_cpu_to_node() which can run prior to percpu being setup. We already have the numa_cpu_lookup_table we can use, so just plumb it in. With the patch dmesg output shows two groups, 0 and 1: pcpu-alloc: [0] 00 01 02 03 [0] 04 05 06 07 pcpu-alloc: [0] 08 09 10 11 [0] 12 13 14 15 pcpu-alloc: [0] 16 17 18 19 [0] 20 21 22 23 pcpu-alloc: [1] 24 25 26 27 [1] 28 29 30 31 pcpu-alloc: [1] 32 33 34 35 [1] 36 37 38 39 pcpu-alloc: [1] 40 41 42 43 [1] 44 45 46 47 We can also check the data_offset in the paca of various CPUs, with the fix we see: CPU 0: data_offset = 0x0ffe8b0000 CPU 24: data_offset = 0x1ffe5b0000 And we can see from dmesg that CPU 24 has an allocation on node 1: node 0: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000fffffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000001000000000-0x0000001fffffffff] Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.16+ Fixes:8c27226119("powerpc/numa: Enable USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID") Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Reviewed-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
