Subject: [PATCH] pseries/hotplug: Add CPU-to-node mappings for all present CPUs
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 21:25:49 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261012155549.557256-2-srikar@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
When cores are added while the system is running in a lower SMT mode,
some threads of those cores remain offline. Moving the system to a
higher SMT mode later fails to online those threads.
For example, on a system with four cores:
1. ppc64_cpu --smt=off
2. nproc
expected: 4
3. ppc64_cpu --smt
expected/actual: "SMT is off"
4. drmgr -c cpu -a -q 4
5. ppc64_cpu --smt
expected/actual: "SMT is off"
6. ppc64_cpu --smt=8
7. ppc64_cpu --smt
expected: SMT=8
actual: SMT=1: 4-7; SMT=8: 0-3
8. nproc
expected: 64
actual: 36
Post commit d1099e2276df ("powerpc/pseries: Honour current SMT state
when DLPAR onlining CPUs"), when new CPUs are added, the CPU-to-node
mapping is currently updated only for CPUs that are immediately onlined.
CPUs that are made present but remain offline due to the current SMT
mode therefore do not get a CPU-to-node mapping.
When those CPUs are subsequently onlined after switching to a higher
SMT mode, the online operation fails because the required CPU-to-node
mapping is missing.
Update the CPU-to-node mapping before applying the SMT restrictions so
that all newly present CPUs have a node mapping, including CPUs that
remain offline in the current SMT mode.
Fixes: d1099e2276df ("powerpc/pseries: Honour current SMT state when DLPAR onlining CPUs")
