Laurent Vivier reported off by one with maximum number of NUMA nodes
provided by qemu-kvm being less by one than required according to
description of "ibm,max-associativity-domains" property in LoPAPR.
It appears that I incorrectly treated LoPAPR description of this
property assuming it provides last valid domain (NUMA node here)
instead of maximum number of domains.
### Before hot-add
(qemu) info numa
3 nodes
node 0 cpus: 0
node 0 size: 0 MB
node 0 plugged: 0 MB
node 1 cpus:
node 1 size: 1024 MB
node 1 plugged: 0 MB
node 2 cpus:
node 2 size: 0 MB
node 2 plugged: 0 MB
$ numactl -H
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0
node 0 size: 0 MB
node 0 free: 0 MB
node 1 cpus:
node 1 size: 999 MB
node 1 free: 658 MB
node distances:
node 0 1
0: 10 40
1: 40 10
### Hot-add
(qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=1G
(qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem0,node=2
(qemu) [ 87.704898] pseries-hotplug-mem: Attempting to hot-add 4 ...
<there is no "Initmem setup node 2 [mem 0xHEX-0xHEX]">
[ 87.705128] lpar: Attempting to resize HPT to shift 21
... <HPT resize messages>
### After hot-add
(qemu) info numa
3 nodes
node 0 cpus: 0
node 0 size: 0 MB
node 0 plugged: 0 MB
node 1 cpus:
node 1 size: 1024 MB
node 1 plugged: 0 MB
node 2 cpus:
node 2 size: 1024 MB
node 2 plugged: 1024 MB
$ numactl -H
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Still only two nodes (and memory hot-added to node 0 below)
node 0 cpus: 0
node 0 size: 1024 MB
node 0 free: 1021 MB
node 1 cpus:
node 1 size: 999 MB
node 1 free: 658 MB
node distances:
node 0 1
0: 10 40
1: 40 10
After fix applied numactl(8) reports 3 nodes available and memory
plugged into node 2 as expected.
From David Gibson:
------------------
Qemu makes a distinction between "non NUMA" (nb_numa_nodes == 0) and
"NUMA with one node" (nb_numa_nodes == 1). But from a PAPR guests's
point of view these are equivalent. I don't want to present two
different cases to the guest when we don't need to, so even though the
guest can handle it, I'd prefer we put a '1' here for both the
nb_numa_nodes == 0 and nb_numa_nodes == 1 case.
This consolidates everything discussed previously on mailing list.
