(0) We list the ARCHs which support the NUMA:
       arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv,
       sparc, mips, s390, x86,

(1) Some ARCHs in (0) override the generic cpu_to_node(), such as:
       sparc, mips, s390, x86.

    Since these ARCHs have their own cpu_to_node(), we do not care
    about them.

(2) The ARCHs enable NUMA and use the generic cpu_to_node.
    From (0) and (1), we can know that four ARCHs support NUMA and
    use the generic cpu_to_node:
        arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv,

    The generic cpu_to_node depends on percpu "numa_node".

    (2.1) The loongarch sets "numa_node" in:
          start_kernel --> smp_prepare_boot_cpu()

    (2.2) The arm64, powerpc, riscv set "numa_node" in:
       	  start_kernel --> arch_call_rest_init() --> rest_init()
       	               --> kernel_init() --> kernel_init_freeable()
                       --> smp_prepare_cpus()

    (2.3) The first place calling the cpu_to_node() is early_trace_init():
          start_kernel --> early_trace_init()--> __ring_buffer_alloc()
	               --> rb_allocate_cpu_buffer()

    (2.4) So it safe for loongarch. But for arm64, powerpc and riscv,
          there are at least four places in the common code where
	  the cpu_to_node() is called before it is initialized:
	   a.) early_trace_init()         in kernel/trace/trace.c
	   b.) sched_init()               in kernel/sched/core.c
	   c.) init_sched_fair_class()    in kernel/sched/fair.c
	   d.) workqueue_init_early()     in kernel/workqueue.c

(3) In order to fix the issue, the patch refactors the generic cpu_to_node:
    (3.1) change cpu_to_node to function pointer,
          and export it for kernel modules.

    (3.2) introduce _cpu_to_node() which is the original cpu_to_node().

    (3.3) introduce smp_prepare_boot_cpu_start() to wrap the original
          smp_prepare_boot_cpu(), and set cpu_to_node with
	  early_cpu_to_node which works fine for arm64, powerpc,
	  riscv and loongarch.

    (3.4) introduce smp_prepare_cpus_done() to wrap the original
          smp_prepare_cpus().
	  The "numa_node" is ready after smp_prepare_cpus(),
	  then set cpu_to_node with _cpu_to_node().

I do not understand this format, what are you saying here?

Have you read the kernel documentation for how to write changelog texts?
It doesn't say "list a bunch of things", it's a bit more descriptive.

When you start listing different things in a changelog, that's a hint to
the reviewer to say "please break this up" as patches need to do only
one thing at a time.  As I can't follow the above text at all, that's
all the review comments I'm able to give here, sorry.

But as-is, this isn't acceptable :(

thanks,

Sorry for the confusing.


I should put the conclusion at the beginning:

   The generic cpu_to_node() has bug in some situations.

   The generic cpu_to_node()  does not work in arm64, powerpc, riscv 
when the CONFIG_NUMA is enabled:

      The cpu_to_node() is called before it is initialized.

  So all the four places are set with the wrong node id (get by 
cpu_to_node()):

            a.) early_trace_init()         in kernel/trace/trace.c
	   b.) sched_init()               in kernel/sched/core.c
	   c.) init_sched_fair_class()    in kernel/sched/fair.c
	   d.) workqueue_init_early()     in kernel/workqueue.c


Thanks
