These patches address some of those problems. powerpc/hotplug: On systems like PowerPC which allow 'hot-add' of CPU or memory resources, it may occur that the new resources are to be inserted into nodes that were not used for these resources at bootup. In the kernel, any node that is used must be defined and initialized at boot. In order to meet both needs, this patch adds a new kernel command line option (numnodes=) for use by the PowerPC architecture-specific code that defines the maximum number of nodes that the kernel will ever need in its current hardware environment. The boot code that initializes nodes for PowerPC will read this value and use it to ensure that all of the desired nodes are setup in the 'node_possible_map', and elsewhere. powerpc/numa: Correct the currently broken capability to set the topology for shared CPUs in LPARs. At boot time for shared CPU lpars, the topology for each shared CPU is set to node zero, however, this is now updated correctly using the Virtual Processor Home Node (VPHN) capabilities information provided by the pHyp. The VPHN handling in Linux is disabled, if PRRN handling is present. Signed-off-by: Michael Bringmann Michael Bringmann (2): powerpc/hotplug: Add option to define max nodes allowing dynamic growth of resources. powerpc/numa: Update CPU topology when VPHN enabled --- Changes in V8: -- Fix conditional compile bug.
