| |
SLQB uses DEFINE_PER_CPU to define per-node areas. An implicit assumption is made that all valid node IDs will have matching valid CPU ids. In memoryless configurations, it is possible to have a node ID with no CPU having the same ID. When this happens, per-cpu areas are not initialised and the per-node data is effectively random.
An attempt was made to force the allocation of per-cpu areas corresponding to active node IDs. However, for reasons unknown this led to silent lockups. Instead, this patch fixes the SLQB problem by forcing the per-node data to be statically declared.
