[RFC Patch V1 29/30] mm, x86: Enable memoryless node support to better support CPU/memory hotplug

From: Jiang Liu
Date: Fri Jul 11 2014 - 03:38:34 EST


With current implementation, all CPUs within a NUMA node will be
assocaited with another NUMA node if the node has no memory installed.

For example, on a four-node system, CPUs on node 2 and 3 are associated
with node 0 when are no memory install on node 2 and 3, which may
confuse users.

To be worse, the CPU affinity relationship won't get fixed even after
memory has been added to those nodes. After memory hot-addition to
node 2, CPUs on node 2 are still associated with node 0. This may cause
sub-optimal performance.

With support of memoryless node enabled, it will correctly report system
hardware topology for nodes without memory installed.

With memoryless node enabled, CPUs are correctly associated with node 2
after memory hot-addition to node 2.
