Here is some information on the testing: Tested the patch with the following commandlines: numa=fake=2G,4G,6G,8G,10G,12G,14G,16G numa=fake=3G,6G,10G,16G numa=fake=4G numa=fake= For testing if the fake nodes respect the real node boundaries, I added some debug printks in the node creation path. Without the patch, for the commandline numa=fake=2G,4G,6G,8G,10G,12G,14G,16G, this is what I got: fake id: 1 nid: 0 fake id: 1 nid: 0 ... fake id: 2 nid: 0 fake id: 2 nid: 0 ... fake id: 2 nid: 0 created new fake_node with id 3 fake id: 3 nid: 0 fake id: 3 nid: 0 ... fake id: 3 nid: 0 fake id: 3 nid: 0 fake id: 3 nid: 1 fake id: 3 nid: 1 ... created new fake_node with id 4 fake id: 4 nid: 1 fake id: 4 nid: 1 ... and so on. So, fake node 3 encompasses real node 0 & 1. Also, # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node3/meminfo Node 0 MemTotal: 2097152 kB ... # # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node4/meminfo Node 0 MemTotal: 2097152 kB ... With the patch, I get: fake id: 1 nid: 0 fake id: 1 nid: 0 ... fake id: 2 nid: 0 fake id: 2 nid: 0 ... fake id: 2 nid: 0 created new fake_node with id 3 fake id: 3 nid: 0 fake id: 3 nid: 0 ... fake id: 3 nid: 0 fake id: 3 nid: 0 created new fake_node with id 4 fake id: 4 nid: 1 fake id: 4 nid: 1 ... and so on. With the patch, the fake node sizes are slightly different from that specified by the user. # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node3/meminfo Node 3 MemTotal: 1638400 kB ... # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node4/meminfo Node 4 MemTotal: 458752 kB ...

However, it does not impact numa_setup_cpu, since fake_numa_node_mapping array would have no mapping stored and there is a condition there already to check for the value of the mapping.
