I thought that saying that I only check for devices managed by dpdk explains the purpose, and the patch itself shows the change from one file to another. > 21/07/2017 12:11, Sergio Gonzalez Monroy: >> Commit 8a04cb612589 ("pci: set default numa node for broken systems") >> added logic to default to NUMA node 0 when sysfs numa_node information >> was wrong or not available. >> >> Unfortunately there are many devices with wrong NUMA node information >> that DPDK does not care about but still show warnings for them. >> >> Instead, only check for invalid NUMA node information for devices >> managed by the DPDK. >> >> Signed-off-by: Sergio Gonzalez Monroy > [...] >> - if (eal_parse_sysfs_value(filename, &tmp) == 0 && >> - tmp < RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES) >> + if (eal_parse_sysfs_value(filename, &tmp) == 0) >> dev->device.numa_node = tmp; > Why are you removing the check of the value? > Are you going to accept invalid high values? > This check was introduced on purpose by this commit: > http://dpdk.org/commit/8a04cb6125 tmp is unsigned long type, so -1 is going to be a large number. My understanding was that it was basically checking for -1 as numa_node. If we have valid numa_node greater than RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES, defaulting to 0 is not a good idea, is it? What I try to achieve with the patch is: - if no numa_node avilable then parse is going to fail and we set -1. - if numa_node is present but wrong, my understanding was that it would be -1.
