The deduplicating sort in sched_init_numa() assumes that the first line in
the distance table contains all unique values in the entire table. I've
been trying to pen what this exactly means for the topology, but it's not
straightforward. For instance, topology.c uses this example:
node 0 1 2 3
0: 10 20 20 30
1: 20 10 20 20
2: 20 20 10 20
3: 30 20 20 10
0 ----- 1
| / |
| / |
| / |
2 ----- 3
Which works out just fine. However, if we swap nodes 0 and 1:
1 ----- 0
| / |
| / |
| / |
2 ----- 3
we get this distance table:
node 0 1 2 3
0: 10 20 20 20
1: 20 10 20 30
2: 20 20 10 20
3: 20 30 20 10
Which breaks the deduplicating sort (non-representative first line). In
this case this would just be a renumbering exercise, but it so happens that
we can have a deduplicating sort that goes through the whole table in O(n²)
at the extra cost of a temporary memory allocation (i.e. any form of set).
The ACPI spec (SLIT) mentions distances are encoded on 8 bits. Following
this, implement the set as a 256-bits bitmap. Should this not be
satisfactory (i.e. we want to support 32-bit values), then we'll have to go
for some other sparse set implementation.
This has the added benefit of letting us allocate just the right amount of
memory for sched_domains_numa_distance[], rather than an arbitrary
(nr_node_ids + 1).
Note: DT binding equivalent (distance-map) decodes distances as 32-bit
values.
