[PULL 01/53] pseries: do not allow memory-less/cpu-less NUMA node


From: David Gibson
Subject: [PULL 01/53] pseries: do not allow memory-less/cpu-less NUMA node
Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2019 19:36:55 +1000

From: Laurent Vivier <address@hidden>

When we hotplug a CPU on memory-less/cpu-less node, the linux kernel
crashes.

This happens because linux kernel needs to know the NUMA topology at
start to be able to initialize the distance lookup table.

On pseries, the topology is provided by the firmware via the existing
CPUs and memory information. Thus a node without memory and CPU cannot be
discovered by the kernel.

To avoid the kernel crash, do not allow to start pseries with empty
nodes.
