How does it return 0?

...
		cnt = acpi_table_parse_srat(ACPI_SRAT_TYPE_MEMORY_AFFINITY,
					    acpi_parse_memory_affinity,
					    NR_NODE_MEMBLKS);
If there's no srat, cnt is zero.
	}

	/* SLIT: System Locality Information Table */
	acpi_table_parse(ACPI_SIG_SLIT, acpi_parse_slit);

	acpi_numa_arch_fixup();

	if (cnt <= 0)
if cnt is zero, the if is taken
		return cnt ?: -ENOENT;
and as cnt is zero, -ENOENT is returned.
	return 0;
The function returns 0 iff cnt > 0.
