[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The patch titled
     Subject: powerpc/numa: set numa_node for all possible cpus
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     powerpc-numa-set-numa_node-for-all-possible-cpus.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Subject: powerpc/numa: set numa_node for all possible cpus

Patch series "Offline memoryless cpuless node 0", v5.

Linux kernel configured with CONFIG_NUMA on a system with multiple
   possible nodes, marks node 0 as online at boot.  However in practice,
   there are systems which have node 0 as memoryless and cpuless.

This can cause
1. numa_balancing to be enabled on systems with only one online node.
2. Existence of dummy (cpuless and memoryless) node which can confuse
users/scripts looking at output of lscpu / numactl.

This patchset wants to correct this anomaly.

This should only affect systems that have CONFIG_MEMORYLESS_NODES. 
   Currently there are only 2 architectures ia64 and powerpc that have
   this config.

Note: Patch 3 in this patch series depends on patches 1 and 2.  Without
   patches 1 and 2, patch 3 might crash powerpc.


This patch (of 3):

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.
