Create arrays that maps serial nids and sparse chipids.

Note: My original idea had only two arrays of chipid to nid map. Final
code is inspired by driver/acpi/numa.c that maps a proximity node with
a logical node by Takayoshi Kochi <t-kochi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, and thus
uses an additional chipid_map nodemask. The mask helps in first unused
nid easily by knowing first unset bit in the mask.

No change in functionality.

Hrm, conceptually there are *more* chips than nodes, right? So what
guarantees we won't see > MAX_NUMNODES chips?

You are correct that nid <= chipids.
and #nids = #chipids when all possible slots are populated. Considering
we assume that maximum chip slots are no more than MAX_NUMNODES,


how about having

#define MAX_CHIPNODES MAX_NUMNODES
and
chipid_to_nid_map[MAX_CHIPNODES] = { [0 ... MAX_CHIPNODES - 1] = ..

Do you really want to support these cases? Or should they be
bugs/warnings indicating that you got an unexpected input? Or at least
WARN_ON_ONCE?


Right. Querying for nid of an invalid chipid should be atleast
WARN_ON_ONCE(). But 'll check once if there is any valid scenario
before the change.

chip <-> node mapping is a static (physical) concept, right? Should we
emit some debugging if for some reason we get a runtime call to remap
an already mapped chip to a new node?


Good point. Already mapped chipid to a different nid is unexpected
whereas mapping chipid to same nid is expected.(because mapping comes
from cpus belonging to same node).

WARN_ON() should suffice here?

If you create a KVM guest with a bogus topology, doesn't this just start
losing NUMA information for very high-noded guests?


'll try to see if it is possible to hit this case, ideally we should
not allow more than MAX_NUMNODES for chipids and we should abort early.

yep, will correct that.
