But I failed to see why the above is related to making node_to_cpumask_map()
NUMA_NO_NODE aware?
Your initial bug is for hns3, which is a PCI device, which really _MUST_
have a node assigned.

It not having one, is a straight up bug. We must not silently accept
NO_NODE there, ever.
I suppose you mean reporting a lack of affinity when the node of a pcie
device is not set by "not silently accept NO_NODE".
If the firmware of a pci device does not provide the node information,
then yes, warn about that.

As Greg has asked about in [1]:
what is a user to do when the user sees the kernel reporting that?

We may tell user to contact their vendor for info or updates about
that when they do not know about their system well enough, but their
vendor may get away with this by quoting ACPI spec as the spec
considering this optional. Should the user believe this is indeed a
fw bug or a misreport from the kernel?
Say it is a firmware bug, if it is a firmware bug, that's simple.
quoted
If this kind of reporting is common pratice and will not cause any
misunderstanding, then maybe we can report that.
Yes, please do so, that's the only way those boxes are ever going to get
fixed.  And go add the test to the "firmware testing" tool that is based
on Linux that Intel has somewhere, to give vendors a chance to fix this
before they ship hardware.

This shouldn't be a big deal, we warn of other hardware bugs all the
time.
Ok, thanks for clarifying.

Will send a patch to catch the case when a pcie device without numa node
being set and warn about it.

Maybe use dev->bus to verify if it is a pci device?
No, do that in the pci bus core code itself, when creating the devices
as that is when you know, or do not know, the numa node, right?

This can't be in the driver core only, as each bus type will have a
different way of determining what the node the device is on.  For some
reason, I thought the PCI core code already does this, right?
Yes, pci_irq_get_node(), which NO ONE CALLS!  I should go delete that
thing...

Anyway, it looks like the pci core code does call set_dev_node() based
on the PCI bridge, so if that is set up properly, all should be fine.

If not, well, you have buggy firmware and you need to warn about that at
the time you are creating the bridge.  Look at the call to
pcibus_to_node() in pci_register_host_bridge().
Thanks for pointing out the specific function.
Maybe we do not need to warn about the case when the device has a parent,
because we must have warned about the parent if the device has a parent
and the parent also has a node of NO_NODE, so do not need to warn the child
device anymore? like blew:

Why do you need to check this?  If you have a parent, it's your node
should be set, if not, that's an error, right?
If the device has parent and the parent device also has a node of
NUMA_NO_NODE, then maybe we have warned about the parent device, so
we do not have to warn about the child device?

In pci_register_host_bridge():

	if (!parent)
		set_dev_node(bus->bridge, pcibus_to_node(bus));

The above only set the node of the bridge device to the node of bus if
the bridge device does not have a parent.

	bus->dev.parent = bus->bridge;

	dev_set_name(&bus->dev, "%04x:%02x", pci_domain_nr(bus), bus->number);
	name = dev_name(&bus->dev);

	err = device_register(&bus->dev);

The above then set the bus device's parent to bridge device, and then
call device_register(), which will set the bus device's node according to
bridge device' node.

Who set that bus->bridge node to NUMA_NO_NODE?
It seems x86 and arm64 may have different implemention of
pcibus_to_node():

For arm64:
int pcibus_to_node(struct pci_bus *bus)
{
	return dev_to_node(&bus->dev);
}

And the node of bus is set in:
int pcibios_root_bridge_prepare(struct pci_host_bridge *bridge)
{
	if (!acpi_disabled) {
		struct pci_config_window *cfg = bridge->bus->sysdata;
		struct acpi_device *adev = to_acpi_device(cfg->parent);
		struct device *bus_dev = &bridge->bus->dev;

		ACPI_COMPANION_SET(&bridge->dev, adev);
		set_dev_node(bus_dev, acpi_get_node(acpi_device_handle(adev)));
	}

	return 0;
}

acpi_get_node() may return NUMA_NO_NODE in pcibios_root_bridge_prepare(),
which will set the node of bus_dev to NUMA_NO_NODE


x86:
static inline int __pcibus_to_node(const struct pci_bus *bus)
{
	const struct pci_sysdata *sd = bus->sysdata;

	return sd->node;
}

And the node of bus is set in pci_acpi_scan_root(), which uses
pci_acpi_root_get_node() get the node of a bus. And it also may return
NUMA_NO_NODE.

If that is set, the firmware is broken, as you say, but you need to tell
the user what firmware is broken.
Maybe mentioning the BIOS in log?
dev_err(bus->bridge, FW_BUG "No node assigned on NUMA capable HW by BIOS. Please contact your vendor for updates.\n");

Try something like this out and see what happens on your machine that
had things "broken".  What does it say?
Does not have a older bios right now.

Also, we do not need to warn about that in pci_device_add(), Right?
Because we must have warned about the pci host bridge of the pci device.
That should be true, yes.
quoted
I may be wrong about above because I am not so familiar with the pci.
quoted
And yes, you need to do this all on a per-bus-type basis, as has been
pointed out.  It's up to the bus to create the device and set this up
properly.
Thanks.
Will do that on per-bus-type basis.
Good luck, I don't really think that most, if any, of this is needed,
but hey, it's nice to clean it up where it can be :)
