A Powerpc system with multiple possible nodes and with CONFIG_NUMA
enabled always used to have a node 0, even if node 0 does not any cpus
or memory attached to it. As per PAPR, node affinity of a cpu is only
available once its present / online. For all cpus that are possible but
not present, cpu_to_node() would point to node 0.
To ensure a cpuless, memoryless dummy node is not online, powerpc need
to make sure all possible but not present cpu_to_node are set to a
proper node.
Just curious, is this somehow related to
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200227182650.GG3771@dhcp22.suse.cz?
The issue I am trying to fix is a known issue in Powerpc since many years.
So this surely not a problem after a75056fc1e7c (mm/memcontrol.c: allocate
shrinker_map on appropriate NUMA node").
I tried v5.6-rc4 + a75056fc1e7c but didnt face any issues booting the
kernel. Will work with Sachin/Abdul (reporters of the issue).
