Subject: [PATCH 4.18 47/53] powerpc/numa: Use associativity if VPHN hcall is successful

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 2483ef056f6e42f61cd266452e2841165dfe1b5c ]

Currently associativity is used to lookup node-id even if the
preceding VPHN hcall failed. However this can cause CPU to be made
part of the wrong node, (most likely to be node 0). This is because
VPHN is not enabled on KVM guests.

With 2ea6263 ("powerpc/topology: Get topology for shared processors at
boot"), associativity is used to set to the wrong node. Hence KVM
guest topology is broken.

For example : A 4 node KVM guest before would have reported.

  [root@...alhost ~]#  numactl -H
  available: 4 nodes (0-3)
  node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3
  node 0 size: 1746 MB
  node 0 free: 1604 MB
  node 1 cpus: 4 5 6 7
  node 1 size: 2044 MB
  node 1 free: 1765 MB
  node 2 cpus: 8 9 10 11
  node 2 size: 2044 MB
  node 2 free: 1837 MB
  node 3 cpus: 12 13 14 15
  node 3 size: 2044 MB
  node 3 free: 1903 MB
  node distances:
  node   0   1   2   3
    0:  10  40  40  40
    1:  40  10  40  40
    2:  40  40  10  40
    3:  40  40  40  10

Would now report:

  [root@...alhost ~]# numactl -H
  available: 4 nodes (0-3)
  node 0 cpus: 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
  node 0 size: 1746 MB
  node 0 free: 1244 MB
  node 1 cpus:
  node 1 size: 2044 MB
  node 1 free: 2032 MB
  node 2 cpus: 1
  node 2 size: 2044 MB
  node 2 free: 2028 MB
  node 3 cpus:
  node 3 size: 2044 MB
  node 3 free: 2032 MB
  node distances:
  node   0   1   2   3
    0:  10  40  40  40
    1:  40  10  40  40
    2:  40  40  10  40
    3:  40  40  40  10

Fix this by skipping associativity lookup if the VPHN hcall failed.
