Hi Keir,
on NUMA systems with memory-less nodes Xen crashes quite early in the
hypervisor (while initializing the heaps). This is not an issue if this
happens to be the last node, but "inner" nodes trigger this reliably.
On multi-node processors it is much more likely to leave a node unequipped.
The attached patch fixes this by enumerating the node via the
node_online_map instead of counting from 0 to num_nodes.
The resulting NUMA setup is still somewhat strange, but at least it does
not crash. In lowlevel/xc/xc.c there is again this enumeration bug, but
I suppose we cannot access the HV's node_online_map from this context,
so the xm info output is not correct (but xm debug-keys H is).
I plan to rework the handling of memory-less nodes later.
Please also consider committing this to the -testing trees.
Regards,
Andre.
