With this configuration, would the following ibm,associativity arrays
also be valid?
{ 3, 0, 0, 0 }
{ 3, 0, 0, 8 }
{ 3, 0, 0, 40}
If yes, then we need a way to tell that the associativity domains assignment
are optional, and FORM2 relies solely on finding out the domainID of the
resource (0, 8 and 40) to retrieve the domainID index, and with this
index all performance metrics can be retrieved from the numa-* properties
(numa-distance-table, numa-bandwidth-table ...).
Retrieving the resource domainID is done by using ibm,associativity-reference-points.
This will allow the platform to implement FORM2 such as:
{ 1, 0 }
{ 1, 8 }
{ 1, 40 }
- ref-points: { 0x1 }
If the platform chooses to do so.

I see there is no mention of the special PAPR SCM handling. I saw in
one of the your replies of v1:
"Another option is to make sure that numa-distance-value is populated
such that PMEMB distance indicates it is closer to node0 when compared
to node1. ie, node_distance[40][0] < node_distance[40][1]. One could
possibly infer the grouping based on the distance value and not deepend
on ibm,associativity for that purpose."
Is that was we're supposed to do with PAPR SCM? I'm not sure how that
affects NVDIMM support in QEMU with FORM2.
Thanks,
Daniel

Where do you suggest we clarify that? I agree that it is not explicitly

Perhaps something like this, right in the middle of the example:
----------------
(...)
+ | 0 8 40
+--|------------
+ |
+0 | 10 20 80
+ |
+8 | 20 10 160
+ |
+40| 80 160 10
+
+
With "ibm,associativity-reference-points" equal to { 0x3 }, the domainID of
each resource is located at index 3 of each ibm,associativity property:
+{ 3, 6, 7, 0 }
+{ 3, 6, 9, 8 }
+{ 3, 6, 7, 40 }
FORM2 requires the ibm,associativity array to contain the domainID of the
resource, which is defined by the ibm,associativity-reference-points.
Calculating the associativity domains of the remaining ibm,associativity
elements is not obligatory. In this example, the following ibm,associativity
arrays are also valid:
{ 3, 0, 0, 0 }
{ 3, 0, 0, 8 }
{ 3, 0, 0, 40 }
(...)

The Form1 description is still kinda confusing, but I don't really
care. Form1 *is* confusing, it's Form2 that I hope will be clearer.

So, see you've removed the special handling of secondary IDs for pmem
- big improvement, thanks. IIUC, in this revised version, for Form2
there's really no reason for ibm,associativity-reference-points to
have >1 entry. Is that right?
In Form2 everything revolves around the primary domain ID - so much
that I suggest we come up with a short name for it. How about just
"node id" since that's how Linux uses it.

The lookup-index-table is all about compactifying the representation
of the distance matrix. Because node ids are sparse, the matrix of
distances is also effectively sparse. You don't want to have a huge
matrix in the DT with mostly meaningless entries, so you use the
lookup table to compact the node ids.
It's a bit confusing though, because you now have two representations
of exactly the same information the "full" node id (== primary
domainID) and the "short" node id (==domainID lookup table offset).
I can see three ways to clarify this:
A) Give the short node id an explicit name rather than difficult to
parse "domainID index" or "domainID offset" which gets easily
muddled with other uses of index and offset. Use that name
throughout.
B) Eliminate the short ID entirely, and use an explicit sparse
matrix representation for the distance table e.g. a list of
(nodeA, nodeB, distance) tuples
That does have the disadvantage that it's not structurally
guaranteed that you have entries for every pair of "active" node
ids.
C) Eliminate the "long ID" entirely. In the Form2 world, is there
actually any point allowing sparse node ids? In this case you'd
have the node id read from associativity and use that directly to
index the distance table

As noted "domainID index" is confusing here, because it's different
from the "domainID index" values in reference-points.

The N here always has to be the square of the N in the
lookup-index-table, yes? In which case do we actually need to include
it?

In what circumstances would you envisage a hot-add creating a new NUMA
node, as opposed to adding resources to an existing (possibly empty)
node? Do you need any provision for removing NUMA nodes again?

Again, does N have to equal 2 * (existing number of nodes + 1)? If so
you should say so, if not you should specify how incomplete
information is interpreted.

You WARN_ON(), but you don't actually bail out to avoid indexing past
the end of the property below.
AFAICT none of this really works unless numa_index == (previous number
of numa nodes + 1), which makes all the use of these different
variables kind of confusing. If you had a variable that you just set
equal to the new number of numa nodes (previous number plus the one
being added), then I think you can replace all numa_index and
max_numa_index references with that and it will be clearer.

Again, splitting this loop and carrying i over seems a confusing way
to code this. It's basically two loops of N, one writing a row of the
distance matrix, one writing a column (other_nid will even go through
the same values in each loop).

max_numa_index here has a different meaning to max_numa_index in the
previous function, which is pointlessly confusing.

Again, you don't actually bail out in this case. And if it has to
have this value, what's the point of encoding it into the property.

You've already (sort of) verified that the distance table has size
N^2, in which case you can just to a simple two dimensional loop
rather than having to do ugly calculations of row and column.

We don't really refer primary domain ID in rest of FORM2 details. We
do refer the entries as domainID. Is renaming domainID to NUMA
node id better?

I dopped the domainID index and started referring to that as domain
distance offset.

Other hypervisor would want to have a large possible domainID value and
mostly want to publish the full topology details during boot. Using the
above format makes a 16 node config have large "ibm,numa-distance-table"
property.

Yes, other hypervisor would like to partition the domain ID space for
different resources.

most of PAPR device tree property follows the pattern {N,....

Both Qemu and PowerVM don't intend to use this at this point. Both will
provide the full possible NUMA node details during boot. But I was not
sure whether we really need to restrict the possibility of a new
resource being added. This can be true in case of new memory devices
that gets hotplugged in the latency of the device is such that we never
expressed that in the distance table during boot.

I guess we can drop the ibm,numa-lookuup-index and state that the
number of distance element in "ibm,numa-distance" suggest the index at
which this NUMA node should appear for compuring the distance details.

Here is the relevant updated part of the doc.
Form 2 associativity format adds separate device tree properties representing NUMA node distance
thereby making the node distance computation flexible. Form 2 also allows flexible primary
domain numbering. With numa distance computation now detached from the index value in
"ibm,associativity-reference-points" property, Form 2 allows a large number of primary domain
ids at the same domainID index representing resource groups of different performance/latency
characteristics.
Hypervisor indicates the usage of FORM2 associativity using bit 2 of byte 5 in the
"ibm,architecture-vec-5" property.
"ibm,numa-lookup-index-table" property contains one or more list numbers representing
the domainIDs present in the system. The offset of the domainID in this property is
used as an index while computing numa distance information via "ibm,numa-distance-table".
prop-encoded-array: The number N of the domainIDs encoded as with encode-int, followed by
N domainID encoded as with encode-int
For ex:
"ibm,numa-lookup-index-table" = {4, 0, 8, 250, 252}. Offset of domainID 8 (2) is used when
computing the distance of domain 8 from other domains present in the system. For rest of
this document this offset will be referred to as domain distance offset.
"ibm,numa-distance-table" property contains one or more list of numbers representing the NUMA
distance between resource groups/domains present in the system.
prop-encoded-array: The number N of the distance values encoded as with encode-int, followed by
N distance values encoded as with encode-bytes. The max distance value we could encode is 255.
For ex:
ibm,numa-lookup-index-table = {3, 0, 8, 40}
ibm,numa-distance-table = {9, 10, 20, 80, 20, 10, 160, 80, 160, 10}
| 0 8 40
--|------------
|
0 | 10 20 80
|
8 | 20 10 160
|
40| 80 160 10
A possible "ibm,associativity" property for resources in node 0, 8 and 40
{ 3, 6, 7, 0 }
{ 3, 6, 9, 8 }
{ 3, 6, 7, 40}
With "ibm,associativity-reference-points" { 0x3 }
"ibm,lookup-index-table" helps in having a compact representation of distance matrix.
Since domainID can be sparse, the matrix of distances can also be effectively sparse.
With "ibm,lookup-index-table" we are able to achieve a compact representation of
distance information.
Each resource (drcIndex) now also supports additional optional device tree properties.
These properties are marked optional because the platform can choose not to export
them and provide the system topology details using the earlier defined device tree
properties alone. The optional device tree properties are used when adding new resources
(DLPAR) and when the platform didn't provide the topology details of the domain which
contains the newly added resource during boot.
"ibm,numa-distance" property contains one or more list of numbers presenting the NUMA distance
from this resource domain to other resources.
prop-encoded-array: The number N of the distance values encoded as with encode-int, followed by
N distance values encoded as with encode-bytes. The max distance value we could encode is 255.
If the system currently has 3 domains and a DLPAR operation is adding one additional
domain, "ibm,numa-distance" property should have 2 * (3 + 1) = 8 elements as shown below.
In other words the domain distance offset value for the newly added domain is number of
distance value elements in the "ibm,numa-distance" property divided by 2.

Right, which is unnecessarily confusing, because primary domain ID is
going to be the only one that matters in practice.

Better, since it's not ambiguous. Still kinda long and awkward.

It'd be about 3kiB, yes? That's fairly large, but not ludicrously
large, so does that matter?

Is that really a hard requirement on the dt format though? The
hypervisor could always have its own internal lookup table between
long and short forms.

Many do, yes, but in many of those cases reading the N is actually
useful. It's impossible to interpret this table if you don't already
know the number of nodes and if the length of the distance doesn't
match that, there's no reasonable fallback interpretation.

Hm, ok. Can we just leave it out of the spec for now and add it in
when/if a hypervisor needs it?

If you insist on retaining the N here, at least explicitly state that
it must be equal to m^2, where m is the number of nodes in numa-lookup-index-table.

You need to spell out the distinction between the two halves of the
property - which one adds a row to numa-distance-table, and which one
adds a column.

You already know the existing number of NUMA nodes, so it seems
clearer to me to alidate the new property against that, rather than
trying to parse it out of the new property.

I believe

return;
is idiomatic.

Is numa_distancep a u32 pointer, or a char pointer? If it's a u32
pointer then adding sizeof(__be32) rather than 1 is incorrect here.

.. but if it's a char pointer then this looks wrong.

I'd just compute the offset from i here, rather than having another
variable to track.

There is also the possibility that the 16 max node limit will get

There is also the desire to keep new details closer to what values the
hypervisor already use for domainIDs with FORM1. From PAPR spec
point of view, it is desirable to avoid adding another level of
indirection at the hypervisor level.

that should be {3, 5,10,50} fixed.

Based on the other review feedback this is dropped. We now derive domain
