Bruno Faccini 63db8170bf mm/fake-numa: allow later numa node hotplug
Current fake-numa implementation prevents new Numa nodes to be later
hot-plugged by drivers.  A common symptom of this limitation is the "node
<X> was absent from the node_possible_map" message by associated warning
in mm/memory_hotplug.c: add_memory_resource().

This comes from the lack of remapping in both pxm_to_node_map[] and
node_to_pxm_map[] tables to take fake-numa nodes into account and thus
triggers collisions with original and physical nodes only-mapping that had
been determined from BIOS tables.

This patch fixes this by doing the necessary node-ids translation in both
pxm_to_node_map[]/node_to_pxm_map[] tables.  node_distance[] table has
also been fixed accordingly.


Details:

When trying to use fake-numa feature on our system where new Numa nodes
are being "hot-plugged" upon driver load, this fails with the following
type of message and warning with stack :

node 8 was absent from the node_possible_map WARNING: CPU: 61 PID: 4259 at
mm/memory_hotplug.c:1506 add_memory_resource+0x3dc/0x418

This issue prevents the use of the fake-NUMA debug feature with the
system's full configuration, when it has proven to be sometimes extremely
useful for performance testing of multi-tasked, memory-bound applications,
as it enables better isolation of processes/ranks compared to fat NUMA
nodes.

Usual numactl output after driver has “hot-plugged”/unveiled some
new Numa nodes with and without memory :

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
