Hello, I looked into what other architectures do. Risc-V does something similar
but it does the setup in 2 parts:

- it uses the device tree to set possible CPU's in setup_smp. Using
for_each_of_cpu_node and set_cpu_possible.

- Then in smp_prepare_cpus, it loops over possible cpus with
for_each_possible_cpu.

Note, it seems risc-v does't actually check max_cpus when setting
set_cpu_present which may be a bug.

I think the two part approach is what we want to do:

- we should do set_cpu_possible in smp_init_cpus based on device tree.
Basically the same as your loop above but using for_each_of_cpu_node
and NR_CPUS.
- we can then do set_cpu_present using for_each_possible_cpu in
smp_prepare_cpus.

What do you think?

for_each_of_cpu_node()?

Hi Stafford, Geert,

thanks for your feedback. I have made the following changes to the patch:

1. use for_each_of_cpu_node
2. possible_cpus is now what is in the devicetree, up to NR_CPUS
3. present_cpus is now all possible cpus, up to max_cpus

This looks good, one small comment below. Can you send the next patch as a v2?

Using 'git format-patch -v2 ...'

You can include the 'Changes since v1' in the space here after '---'.

Sorry, was not aware of that, will do better next time!

I think it is fine for the kernel to have room for more CPUs than are
actually present (i.e. NR_CPUs > present_cpus is OK). Other Archs do not
show a warning in this case either, therefore I also omitted it.

Hi Jan,

I cannot apply this patch, it seems you somehow sent it signed as a multipart
message via Thunderbird.

This causes errors when trying to apply, even after I tried to manually fix the
patch mail:

Applying: openrisc: use device tree to determine present cpus
error: sha1 information is lacking or useless (arch/openrisc/kernel/smp.c).
error: could not build fake ancestor
Patch failed at 0001 openrisc: use device tree to determine present cpus

Can you send this using 'git send-email?'

If not I can get it applied with some work, otherwise you can point me to a git
repo which I can pull it from.

That just means the patch contains no information w.r.t. its base, i.e.
against which tree/commit it applies to. To be ignored.

Just run the above command ;-)

In addition, you can run "formail -s scripts/checkpatch.pl < *mbx" first, to
run the mbox (which could contain multiple patches) through checkpatch.
