Rafael J told me in order for the ACPI-based physical CPU hotplug to work,
there have to be objects in the ACPI namespace corresponding to all of the
processors in question. If they are not present, there is no way to signal
insertion and eject the processors safely.

But, Kernel calculates the possible CPU count from the number of Local APIC
entries in ACPI MADT. It doesn't consider with the ACPI namespace and
reports unrealistically high numbers. And kernel allocates resources
according to num_possible_cpus(), such as vectors, that may cause vector
space exhaustion and even bugs.

Depth-first search the namespace tree, check and collect the correct CPUs
and update the possible map.

I tested this on a machine which claims to have gazillion of hotplugable
CPUs:

	smpboot: Allowing 152 CPUs, 120 hotplug CPUs
	setup_percpu: NR_CPUS:512 nr_cpumask_bits:512 nr_cpu_ids:152 nr_node_ids:2
	smp: Brought up 2 nodes, 32 CPUs

Now with your patch applied it's still saying:

	smpboot: Allowing 152 CPUs, 120 hotplug CPUs
	setup_percpu: NR_CPUS:512 nr_cpumask_bits:512 nr_cpu_ids:152 nr_node_ids:2
	smp: Brought up 2 nodes, 32 CPUs

and the above code runs later on and the result is:

	nr_unique_ids 1 nr_cpu_ids 152
	Allowing 1 possible CPU

which subsequently causes the machine to die as we have already 32 CPUs
online.

So nr_unique_ids is not what it should be and even if it would be the code
runs way too late. It needs to run _before_ setup_percpu() is invoked to
scale everything correctly.

Thanks,

I really appreciate your test.

That is so interesting, it proofs that this strategy is risky.

I've been wondering how to determine the number of possible CPUs. Due to
the diversity of ACPI in different systems, that seems impossible. Why 
don't I change my mind? Here is a new strategy and I think it is more
reasonable and minimally invasive.

   As we all know, we reset possible CPUs in the prefill_possible_map(),
   If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = y :
       nr_possible_CPUs = num_processors + disabled_cpus.

   Before the prefill_possible_map(), *Fix the inaccurate disabled_cpus*:

     1) For each disabled CPUs, get it's processor id from ACPI MADT

     2) Check whether this processor id is existed in ACPI namespace or not.
        If false, disabled_cpus--;

I will show you the code and test it later. And IMO, the code logic in
prefill_possible_map() is a little mess, will try to sort it out first.

Yes, Got it.
