NVLink2 GPUs are allocated in their own NUMA node, at maximum
distance from every other resource in the board. The existing
logic makes some assumptions that don't scale well:
- only NVLink2 GPUs will ever require such mechanism, meaning
that the GPU logic is tightly coupled with the NUMA setup of
the machine, via how ibm,max-associativity-domains is set.
- the code is relying on the lack of support for sparse NUMA
nodes in QEMU. Eventually this support can be implemented, and
then the assumption that spapr->gpu_numa_id represents the total
of NUMA nodes plus all generated NUMA ids for the GPUs, which
relies on all QEMU NUMA nodes not being sparsed, has a good
potential for disaster.
This patch aims to fix both assumptions by creating a generic
mechanism to get an available NUMA node, regardless of the
NUMA setup being sparse or not. The idea is to rename the existing
spapr->gpu_numa_id to spapr->current_numa_id and add a new
spapr->extra_numa_nodes attribute. They are used in a new function
called spapr_pci_get_available_numa_id(), that takes into account
that the NUMA conf can be sparsed or not, to retrieve an available
NUMA id for the caller. Each consecutive call of
spapr_pci_get_available_numa_id() will generate a new ID, up
to the limit of numa_state->num_nodes + spapr->extra_numa_nodes
exceeding MAX_NODES. This is a generic code being used only by
NVLink2 ATM, being available to be used in the future by any
other device.
With this new function in place, we can decouple
ibm,max-associativity-domains logic from NVLink2 logic by
using the new spapr->extra_numa_nodes to define the maxdomains
of the forth NUMA level. Instead of defining it as gpu_numa_id,
use num_nodes + extra_numa_nodes. This also makes it resilient
to any future change in the support of sparse NUMA nodes.
Despite all the code juggling, no functional change was made
because sparse NUMA nodes isn't a thing and we do not support
distinct NUMA distances via user input. Next patches will
change that.
