Hi Steve,

Is there any reason why above check is done after initializing
sched domain struct for all the CPUs in the cpu_map?

It looks to me, that this check can be performed before the call to
__visit_domain_allocation_hell() in the build_sched_domains()
resulting in early return if topology_span_sane() detects incorrect
topology.

Also, the error path in the current code only cleans up d->rd struct, keeping 
all the work done by build_sched_domain() inside the loop and __alloc_sdt() 
called from __visit_domain_allocation_hell()

is it because we need all that work to remain intact?

static void __free_domain_allocs(struct s_data *d, enum s_alloc what,
				 const struct cpumask *cpu_map)
{
	switch (what) {
	case sa_rootdomain:
		if (!atomic_read(&d->rd->refcount))
			free_rootdomain(&d->rd->rcu);
		fallthrough;
	case sa_sd:
		free_percpu(d->sd);
		fallthrough;
	case sa_sd_storage:
		__sdt_free(cpu_map);
		fallthrough;
	case sa_none:
		break;
	}
}
