Even with fakenuma? Just curious.
x86_64 currently does not support memoryless nodes otherwise it would have set CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES in the kconfig. Memoryless nodes are a bit strange given that the NUMA paradigm is to have NUMA nodes (meaning memory) with processors. MEMORYLESS nodes means that we have a fake NUMA node without memory but just processors. Not very efficient. Not sure why people use these configurations. > I don't know, because I'm not expert on NUMA system :) > At first glance, fakenuma can't be used for testing > CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES. Maybe some modification is needed. Well yeah. You'd have to do some mods to enable that testing. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
