Subject: [RFC][PATCH 5/6] x86/topo: Fix SNC topology mess
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 11:49:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226105052.737712686@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260226104909.675623579@infradead.org>

So per 4d6dd05d07d0 ("sched/topology: Fix sched domain build error for GNR, CWF in SNC-3 mode")

The original crazy SNC-3 SLIT table was:

node distances:
node     0    1    2    3    4    5
    0:   10   15   17   21   28   26
    1:   15   10   15   23   26   23
    2:   17   15   10   26   23   21
    3:   21   28   26   10   15   17
    4:   23   26   23   15   10   15
    5:   26   23   21   17   15   10

And per:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250825075642.GQ3245006@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net/

My suggestion was to average the off-trace clusters to restore sanity.

However, 4d6dd05d07d0 implements this under various assumptions:

 - there will never be more than 2 packages;
 - the off-trace cluster will have distance >20

And then HPE shows up with a machine that matches the
Vendor-Family-Model checks but looks like this:

Here's an 8 socket (2 chassis) HPE system with SNC enabled:

node   0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11  12  13  14  15
  0:  10  12  16  16  16  16  18  18  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  1:  12  10  16  16  16  16  18  18  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  2:  16  16  10  12  18  18  16  16  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  3:  16  16  12  10  18  18  16  16  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  4:  16  16  18  18  10  12  16  16  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  5:  16  16  18  18  12  10  16  16  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  6:  18  18  16  16  16  16  10  12  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  7:  18  18  16  16  16  16  12  10  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  8:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  10  12  16  16  16  16  18  18
  9:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  12  10  16  16  16  16  18  18
 10:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  16  16  10  12  18  18  16  16
 11:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  16  16  12  10  18  18  16  16
 12:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  16  16  18  18  10  12  16  16
 13:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  16  16  18  18  12  10  16  16
 14:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  18  18  16  16  16  16  10  12
 15:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  18  18  16  16  16  16  12  10

 10 = Same chassis and socket
 12 = Same chassis and socket (SNC)
 16 = Same chassis and adjacent socket
 18 = Same chassis and non-adjacent socket
 40 = Different chassis

*However* this is SNC-2.

This completely invalidates all the earlier assumptions and trips
WARNs.

Now that the topology code has a sensible measure of
nodes-per-package, we can use that to divinate the SNC mode at hand,
and only fix up SNC-3 topologies.

With the only assumption that there are no CPU-less nodes -- is this
a valid assumption ?
