2019-04-04 17:34:58 Colin Ian King description The stress-ng numa stress fails because of a miscalculation of the maximum number of NUMA nodes. Previously we were getting an upper bound to the number of max nodes instead of the actual number. That made migrate_pages() fail in some devices due to having bits in the masks set beyond the maximum node identifier. We use now the count of bits in "Mems_allowed" to calculate the maximum number of NUMA nodes. Fix is https://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/cking/stress-ng.git/commit/?id=2d4859745fd35f82081ddf8087350f85f2964971 SRU Cosmic, Bionic [Justification] The stress-ng numa stress fails because of a miscalculation of the maximum number of NUMA nodes. Previously we were getting an upper bound to the number of max nodes instead of the actual number. That made migrate_pages() fail in some devices due to having bits in the masks set beyond the maximum node identifier. [Fix] he fix is to the count of bits in "Mems_allowed" to calculate the maximum number of NUMA nodes. Upstream fix already in -proposed for Disco. Fix is https://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/cking/stress-ng.git/commit/?id=2d4859745fd35f82081ddf8087350f85f2964971 This won't be fixed for Xenial as it has a much older mechanism for checking NUMA nodes and backporting all the changes to apply this fix is too risky for a SRU. [Regression Potential] This could break the NUMA stress-ng stressor node checking if this fix is incorrect; however it currently is broken so the change won't make the situation any worse than it is now.
