Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2017 06:39:19 -0500 From: Shanker Donthineni <shankerd@...eaurora.org> To: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@...ysocki.net> Cc: Len Brown <lenb@...nel.org>, linux-acpi <linux-acpi@...r.kernel.org>, linux-kernel <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Viram Sethi <vikrams@...eaurora.org>, Shanker Donthineni <shankerd@...eaurora.org> Subject: [PATCH v2] ACPI : Update platform device numa node based on _PXM method The optional _PXM method evaluates to an integer that identifies the proximity domain of a device object. On ACPI based kernel boot, the field numa_node in 'struct device' is always set to -1 irrespective of _PXM value that is specified in the ACPI device object. But in case of device-tree based kernel boot the numa_node field is populated and reflects to a DT property that is specified in DTS according to the below document. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/numa.txt http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/of/device.c#L54 Without this patch dev_to_node() always returns a value of -1 for all platform devices. This patch implements support for ACPI _PXM method and updates the platform device numa node id using acpi_get_node(), which provides the PXM to NUMA mapping information. The individual platform device drivers should be able to use the NUMA aware memory allocation functions kmalloc_node() and alloc_pages_node() to improve the performance. Signed-off-by: Shanker Donthineni <shankerd@...eaurora.org> --- Changes since v1: Edited commit text. Not all the platform devices are attached to NUMA node 0 on Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies server chips. Platform device drivers needs to be aware of NUMA information to improve performance. drivers/acpi/acpi_platform.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/acpi_platform.c b/drivers/acpi/acpi_platform.c index b4c1a6a..83d953e 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/acpi_platform.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/acpi_platform.c @@ -119,11 +119,14 @@ struct platform_device *acpi_create_platform_device(struct acpi_device *adev, if (IS_ERR(pdev)) dev_err(&adev->dev, "platform device creation failed: %ld\n", PTR_ERR(pdev)); - else + else { + set_dev_node(&pdev->dev, acpi_get_node(adev->handle)); dev_dbg(&adev->dev, "created platform device %s\n", dev_name(&pdev->dev)); + } kfree(resources); + return pdev; } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(acpi_create_platform_device); -- Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies, Inc. on behalf of the Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
