Hi,
 
We have seen that the warning “sched: CPU #20's llc-sibling CPU #0 is not on 
the same node! [node: 1 != 0]. Ignoring dependency. ” applies to 5.4 but we don’t 
observe the fix in 5.4. I'm sending this email to apply the fix from upstream 
2c88d45edbb8 ("x86, sched: Treat Intel SNC topology as default, COD as 
exception") to 5.4 and also resolve the dependency conflict caused by 
prerequisite commit adefe55e7258 ("x86/kernel: Convert to new CPU match 
macros”) by keeping the later code base, please refer to the
previous two patches for the detail.
 
Thanks,
Sherry
