RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

rhel6 kernel log after applying patch for Bug 668340

Description of problem:
On machine nec-em25.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com, I got:
[root@nec-em25 ~]# numactl --hardware
available: 6 nodes (1-3,5-7)
node 1 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79

No distance information available.


Upstream has the same problem. After adding some debugging printks, I found the missing memory blocks are not enabled according to ACPI info, that is to say ACPI_SRAT_MEM_ENABLED is 0.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.32-94.el6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL6
2. Make sure it has the patch for Bug 668340, otherwise NUMA will not be recognized.
3. Boot the machine and run 'numactl --hardware'
  
Actual results:
Node 0 and Node 4 are missing, distance info is missing too.

Expected results:
Shoul be normal like on rhel5.6:
[root@nec-em25 ~]#  numactl  --hardware
available: 8 nodes (0-7)
node 0 size: 16045 MB
node 0 free: 15346 MB
node 1 size: 16160 MB
node 1 free: 16114 MB
node 2 size: 16160 MB
node 2 free: 16127 MB
node 3 size: 16160 MB
node 3 free: 16134 MB
node 4 size: 16160 MB
node 4 free: 15973 MB
node 5 size: 16160 MB
node 5 free: 16134 MB
node 6 size: 16160 MB
node 6 free: 16133 MB
node 7 size: 16096 MB
node 7 free: 16058 MB
node distances:
node   0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7 
  0:  10  15  15  20  20  15  20  20 
  1:  15  10  20  15  20  20  20  20 
  2:  15  20  10  15  20  20  20  15 
  3:  20  15  15  10  15  20  20  20 
  4:  20  20  20  15  10  15  15  20 
  5:  15  20  20  20  15  10  20  15 
  6:  20  20  20  20  15  20  10  15 
  7:  20  20  15  20  20  15  15  10
