Hi, TJ

I didn't get your means. What did you mean "NUMA code"? Which one did you mean?

1) "NUMA code" = system's NUMA memory hotplug code, AKA, keep the numa mapping stable

I think this is the better idea. This idea came to my mind immediately at the time
I received the bug report. And after some discussions, I was told that it is too HARD
to keep the numa mapping stable across multiple physical system-board/node online/offline.

This idea makes the assumption "the numa mapping is stable after system booted" as
a restriction of the NUMA. And it will favor all the code outside of the numa code,
otherwise (we deny the assumption like this patchset) all the code which use
"cpu_to_node()" and cache the return value will have to be fixed up like this patchset.

Hi, hotplug-team, any idea to keep the numa mapping stable?

2) "NUMA code" = workqueue's NUMA code
I think I already did it, the code I added was right below the code of
wq_update_unbound_numa(). Or I missed something?

Thanks,
Lai
