Something like: " This often leads to system hang or crash during CPU hotplug and system suspend operation. This is mostly observed on HMP systems where the CPU compute capacities are different and ends up in different scheduler domains.

I might need to tweek it a bit when I add the support to update topology on hotplug. But that's for latter. For now, Reviewed-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com>

Could we add an explanation why the numa node mask check is needed in the first place? IIUC, we have the check in case the LLC is shared across numa nodes as this would cause core_siblings > cpumask_of_node() which breaks the scheduler topology. While sharing LLC across numa nodes seems quite unusual, I think it is allowed by ACPI. Those systems might already be broken before, so might not change anything. It is just worth noting why the check should be added back later.

Yes, that sounds like a good idea, my comments probably assume that the reader has been part of these conversations. > > While sharing LLC across numa nodes seems quite unusual, I think it is > allowed by ACPI.

Right, there isn't anything in ACPI that dictates a system topology restriction like this. Given that other architectures have built machines with large directory caches that span numa nodes the check was a safety measure. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Agreed, it seems that another architecture has recently merged support for that: 1340ccfa9a9a -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The numa mask subset check has problems if !CONFIG_NUMA, over hotplug operations or during early boot. Lets disable the NUMA siblings checks for the time being, as NUMA in socket machines have LLC's that will assure that the scheduler topology isn't "borken". Futher, as a defensive mechanism during hotplug, lets assure that the LLC siblings are also masked.
