Subject: [PATCH 6/8] use nr_cpus= to set nr_cpu_ids early
Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 18:49:48 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1266029390-30907-7-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1266029390-30907-1-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org>
on x86, before prefill_possible_map(), nr_cpu_ids will be NR_CPUS aka CONFIG_NR_CPUS
add nr_cpus= to set nr_cpu_ids. so we can simulate cpus <=8 are installed on
normal config.
-v2: accordging to Christoph, acpi_numa_init should use nr_cpu_ids in stead of
NR_CPUS.
-v3: add doc in kernel-parameters.txt according to Andrew.
