There are multiple empty nodes, where no memory resides in, are allowed
in virtual machine (VM) backed by QEMU. I don't find anywhere to document
how the corresponding device nodes are populated. This series adds one
section in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/numa.txt to document how
the empty NUMA nodes are handled: no device nodes are existing for these
empty NUMA nodes, but the NUMA IDs and distance map are still valid in
"numa-distance-map-v1" compatible device node.

PATCH[1] adds one section in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/numa.txt
         to specify how device nodes are populated for these empty NUMA
         nodes.
PATCH[2] fetches NUMA IDs and distance maps from "numa-distance-map-v1"
         compatible device node.

Changelog
=========
   * No device nodes for empty NUMA nodes                     (Rob)
   * Add patch to fetch NUMA IDs and distance map from the

The empty memory nodes, where no memory resides in, are allowed.
The NUMA node IDs are still valid and parsed, but memory may be
added to them through hotplug afterwards. Currently, QEMU fails
to boot when multiple empty memory nodes are specified. It's
caused by device-tree population failure and duplicated memory
node names.

The device-tree specification doesn't provide how empty NUMA
nodes are handled. Besides, I finds difficulty to get where
this case is documented. So lets add a section for empty memory
nodes to cover it in NUMA binding document.

There is no device node for the empty NUMA node. However, the
corresponding NUMA node ID and distance map is still valid in
"numa-distance-map-v1" compatible device node.

This fetches the NUMA node ID and distance map for these empty
NUMA node from "numa-distance-map-v1" compatible device node.

With this, couldn't we remove of_numa_parse_cpu_nodes() as the only
thing it does is node_set()?

With this, couldn't we remove of_numa_parse_cpu_nodes() as the only
thing it does is node_set()?

This is much nicer.

I don't think so for couple of reasons:

(1) With problematic device-tree, the distance map node might be missed
     or incomplete. In this case, of_numa_parse_cpu_nodes() still helps.

(2) @numa_nodes_parsed is also updated when the memory nodes are iterated
     in of_numa_parse_memory_nodes() and numa_add_memblk().

So @numa_nodes_parsed, which is synchronized to @node_possible_map afterwards,
is the gathering output of CPU nodes, memory nodes and distance map node.

It's not the kernel's job to validate the DT (if it was, it is doing a
terrible job). I would suggest writing some checks for dtc if we're
worried about correctness. (The schemas don't work too well for cross
node checks.)

I didn't look into dtc's code and not sure if dtc has this sort of validation.
Besides, dtc is out of scope when QEMU is involved. The device-tree blob isn't
produced by dtc in QEMU.

Yes, it's valid from the kernel's perspective. The default distance
matrix, where the local and remote distances are 10 and 20, is applied
if the distance map is missed in device-tree. The code can be found from
drivers/base/arch_numa.c::numa_alloc_distance()

Besides, it's possible that the distance map isn't populated by QEMU.
However, I'm going to improve the situation so the distance map will
be populated unconditionally.

The following option is supported by QEMU, to specify the distance
between two NUMA nodes. However, it's not mandatory. The distance
map in device-tree won't be populated if the option is missed.

     -numa dist,a=<src_numa_node>,b=<dst_numa_node>,val=<distance>

Thanks,
Gavin
