Message-ID: <682698A055A0F44AA47192B2014114972AE656CC@BGSMSX102.gar.corp.intel.com> (raw)

BTW, the BIOS fix has been posted for the NUMA node reporting issue in Linux kernel when COD is disabled. Now the /sys/devices/*/*/numa_node will provide you the correct information.

Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eal: fix linuxapp numa node detection

Using the "physical_package_id" as a fallback for determining the numa node of a core tends to be unreliable. Fix this by using a detection routine which reads the numa information from /sys/devices/system/node and just returns a numa node of 0 on failure.
