Add an option to automatically discover the host's numa and cpu counts
and use those values for a non cross-build.
Give users the option to override the per-arch default values or values
from cross files by specifying them on the command line with -Dmax_lcores
and -Dmax_numa_nodes.

Does not return the expected value on my P9 system (NUMA nodes are not

I guess the problem here is that we're not really setting the number of NUMA nodes that are usable, but the highest NUMA that is usable?
In that case, the proper config in should be 256 so that even node255 is usable, is that right?

Add an option to automatically discover the host's numa and cpu counts
and use those values for a non cross-build.
Give users the option to override the per-arch default values or values
from cross files by specifying them on the command line with -Dmax_lcores
and -Dmax_numa_nodes.

Add an option to automatically discover the host's numa and cpu counts
and use those values for a non cross-build.
Give users the option to override the per-arch default values or values
from cross files by specifying them on the command line with -Dmax_lcores
and -Dmax_numa_nodes.

Rather than "auto", would "detect" be a clearer name for this option value?

I'd put the explicit values of "default" and "auto"(or "detect") in
quotes "" to make clear they are literal values.

Thanks, Bruce, I'll change it. I have one extra question now that I'm looking at the patch:
What does subprocess.run(['sysctl', '-n', 'vm.ndomains'], check=False) return exactly? Is the the number of NUMA nodes (looks like it) or the highest NUMA node on the system (the highest number of all NUMA nodes)? I'm asking because of how NUMA works on P9:
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-63
NUMA node8 CPU(s): 64-127
NUMA node252 CPU(s):
NUMA node253 CPU(s):
NUMA node254 CPU(s):
NUMA node255 CPU(s):
Here we need not just two NUMA nodes, but at least 9 (0-8). Linux and Windows should return the highest NUMA, not sure about FreeBSD. Or maybe we should return the highest NUMA on which there are actual CPUs?

I'm not sure, and I think to be really sure we'd need it tested on a P9
system. The help text for the sysctl node says "Number of physical memory
domains available", which would imply 2 in the case above. [However, we also
would need to find out how BSD numbers the domains, too, as it's possible
an OS could just call them 0 and 1, rather than 0 and 8 if it wanted to.]
In short, we'd need to test to be sure. Is FreeBSD on P9 a supported
config, and if so can the P9 maintainer perhaps help out with testing?

Results of the v4 patch on an IBM AC922 P9 system with Linux:
$ python3 get-cpu-count.py
128
$ python3 get-numa-count.py
8
$ lscpu
Architecture: ppc64le
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 128
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-127
Thread(s) per core: 4
Core(s) per socket: 16
Socket(s): 2
NUMA node(s): 6
Model: 2.3 (pvr 004e 1203)
Model name: POWER9, altivec supported
CPU max MHz: 3800.0000
CPU min MHz: 2300.0000
L1d cache: 32K
L1i cache: 32K
L2 cache: 512K
L3 cache: 10240K
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-63
NUMA node8 CPU(s): 64-127
NUMA node252 CPU(s):
NUMA node253 CPU(s):
NUMA node254 CPU(s):
NUMA node255 CPU(s):
OVS has a problem with requiring contiguous NUMA nodes that we've
submitted patches to fix, so we need to ensure that's not a problem in DPDK.
I've been doing things like "--socket-mem=2048,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2048" so
far to manage the memory-to-NUMA mapping which has been working fine, so
it depends on how vm.ndomains will be.

<snip>
Is this the right number for your case, i.e. are you able to use both numa nodes when RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES=8?
Or maybe this is a question for Bruce or Thomas - what do we need to set in RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES to be able to use all numa nodes on the system? The highest numa node number or that + 1? In linux, with 4 numa nodes, there will be node0-node3 under /sys/devices/system/node - do we need to set RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES to 3 or 4?

node8 above is the ninth NUMA node so I'd need to use
RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES=9 as a minimum so that any arrays using that value
are adequately sized.

This is an open question still then. I guess we'll have to go with sysctl -n vm.ndomains.

Ok, the proper value to return is highest numa node + 1 then.

Add an option to automatically discover the host's numa and cpu counts
and use those values for a non cross-build.
Give users the option to override the per-arch default values or values
from cross files by specifying them on the command line with -Dmax_lcores
and -Dmax_numa_nodes.

Bruce, David, Thomas,
Is DPDK actually supported on Power9 FreeBSD? Is anyone using this combination? How can we address the open question of what exactly does sysctl -n vm.ndomains return on a Power9 FreeBSD system? Or should we just leave it as is? Or maybe add 1 to the output (as we do in other cases)?

Not supported within IBM, but you can buy OpenPOWER boxes from 3rd
parties such as Raptor Computing Systems so there may be customers using
DPDK on POWER with FreeBSD that I don't track. Adding Piotr Kubaj who
has commented on POWER/FreeBSD issues in this past.

Thanks, David.
Piotr, to provide more context, we're trying to figure out what the highest NUMA node on a system is.
On P9 systems, here's how NUMA nodes look like in Linux:
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-63
NUMA node8 CPU(s): 64-127
NUMA node252 CPU(s):
NUMA node253 CPU(s):
NUMA node254 CPU(s):
NUMA node255 CPU(s):
The highest NUMA with CPUs is node8.
We're trying to get the highest NUMA with CPUs on P9 FreeBSD systems, but we don't know whether FreeBSD NUMA layout looks the same (does FreeBSD report non-contiguous NUMA nodes as Linxu above, or does it renumerate) a what does "systemctl -n vm.ndomains" return. Could you check these for us?

Add an option to automatically discover the host's numa and cpu counts
and use those values for a non cross-build.
Give users the option to override the per-arch default values or values
from cross files by specifying them on the command line with -Dmax_lcores
and -Dmax_numa_nodes.

Hi,
sorry for the late answer.
I suppose you mean sysctl command, not systemctl.
On dual CPU systems, it returns 2. On single CPU ones, 1.

That's right. What does lscpu say? Are the NUMA nodes non-contiguous like this?:
NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-63
NUMA node8 CPU(s): 64-127
NUMA node252 CPU(s):
NUMA node253 CPU(s):
NUMA node254 CPU(s):
NUMA node255 CPU(s):

I asked the previous question so that we know the actual numa node number of the second CPU. If it's 8, then sysctl does some renumeration and we can't use it.
Bruce, maybe we should just parse lscpu output? That introduces a dependency, but that may not be such a big deal as lscpu is pretty common.

Until we are sure that we need it, can we just keep things simple? Perhaps
we can use lscpu if present, and fallback to sysctl output if not.

There's no lscpu on FreeBSD in the base system. There is one in packages, but it's written only for amd64 / i386 since it uses CPUID. https://github.com/NanXiao/lscpu

Piotr says lscpu isn't available on ppc FreeBSD. I think this leaves us with two options:
1. either use sysctl with the risk that it may not return an accurate value
2. not support PPC for numa detection
What do you think?

I think point #2 is more not supporting FreeBSD on PPC for numa detection
rather than not supporting PPC generally, right? Personally, I am just in
favour of #1 for the sake of moving forward and giving us best support with
simplest code. If or when someone does hit this (FreeBSD+PPC) as a problem,
then we can work with them to find best solution for fixing it. Right now
we don't have anyone with the PPC+FreeBSD setup, so I'd rather ignore it
than implement more complicated solutions that we can't test "just in
case".

+1, FreeBSD + PPC is not worth the complication
