Subject: ACPI and NUMA guys, please help to check if this patch is OK
Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 10:46:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABawtvNSYENtrJTaB5Vfd+j5MahE=xv4Ueb6-zmd1CHShuU0iQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

[PATCH] drivers/acpi/numa.c: Add localities checking code against
proximity domains to slit_valid()

 Some buggy BIOS/ACPI will set different number to SLIT localities and
SRAT proximity domains,
 That will make NUMA configuration invalid and kernel will output
information like following

NUMA:Warning:invalid distance parameter, from=-1 to=-1 distance=83

This patch adds some checking code to slit_valid() function in order
to check theSLIT localities
count against SRAT proximity domains number and give clear information
about ACPI bug.
