Hi Randy,

Thanks for your patch!

Perhaps because these SoCs do not support SMP?

SH7785 is single-core.

Dunno about this one (no public info available).

Wasn't this fixed by commit 61bb6cd2f765b90c ("mm: move
node_reclaim_distance to fix NUMA without SMP") in v5.16?

It is not sufficient, after that you run into:

    mm/slab.c: In function ‘slab_memory_callback’:
    mm/slab.c:1127:23: error: implicit declaration of function
‘init_cache_node_node’; did you mean ‘drain_cache_node_node’?
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
     1127 |                 ret = init_cache_node_node(nid);

which you reported before in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/b5bdea22-ed2f-3187-6efe-0c72330270a4@infradead.org/

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
