Source: linux Severity: wishlist Hi! While discussing porting one of my packages to sparc64 (I wanted to run its tests, requiring the NUMA API, at least on a single machine) I was told that a lot of sparc64 machines in the wild have multiple sockets. Sparc architecture in general tends to have a lot of slow CPUs, using many-way SMT and NUMA nodes.
As cross-socket accesses are in general a same-week service, it would be a good idea to enable this API so programs can be aware of NUMA setups. Thus: could you please set CONFIG_NUMA=y on linux-image-sparc64-smp? Meow!
