Is this patch still necessary for Ampere after Ionela's patch [1], which will limit the cluster's span within coregroup's span.
Yes, see: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YshYAyEWhE4z%2FKpB@fedora/
Both patches work together to accomplish the desired sched domains for the Ampere Altra family.
Thanks for the link. From my understanding, on the Altra machine we'll get the following results:
with your patch alone: Scheduler will get a weight of 2 for both CLS and MC level and finally the MC domain will be squashed. The lowest domain will be CLS.
with both your patch and Ionela's: CLS will have a weight of 1 and MC will have a weight of 2. CLS won't be built and the lowest domain will be MC.
with Ionela's patch alone: Both CLS and MC will have a weight of 1, which is incorrect.
So your patch is still necessary for Amphere Altra. Then we need to limit MC span to DIE/NODE span, according to the scheduler's definition for topology level, for the issue below. Maybe something like this:

I found an issue that the NUMA domains are not built on qemu with:
qemu-system-aarch64 \ -kernel ${Image} \ -smp 8 \ -cpu cortex-a72 \ -m 32G \ -object memory-backend-ram,id=node0,size=8G \ -object memory-backend-ram,id=node1,size=8G \ -object memory-backend-ram,id=node2,size=8G \ -object memory-backend-ram,id=node3,size=8G \ -numa node,memdev=node0,cpus=0-1,nodeid=0 \ -numa node,memdev=node1,cpus=2-3,nodeid=1 \ -numa node,memdev=node2,cpus=4-5,nodeid=2 \ -numa node,memdev=node3,cpus=6-7,nodeid=3 \ -numa dist,src=0,dst=1,val=12 \ -numa dist,src=0,dst=2,val=20 \ -numa dist,src=0,dst=3,val=22 \ -numa dist,src=1,dst=2,val=22 \ -numa dist,src=1,dst=3,val=24 \ -numa dist,src=2,dst=3,val=12 \ -machine virt,iommu=smmuv3 \ -net none \ -initrd ${Rootfs} \ -nographic \ -bios QEMU_EFI.fd \ -append "rdinit=/init console=ttyAMA0 earlycon=pl011,0x9000000 sched_verbose loglevel=8"
I can see the schedule domain build stops at MC level since we reach all the cpus in the system:
[ 2.141316] CPU0 attaching sched-domain(s): [ 2.142558] domain-0: span=0-7 level=MC [ 2.145364] groups: 0:{ span=0 cap=964 }, 1:{ span=1 cap=914 }, 2:{ span=2 cap=921 }, 3:{ span=3 cap=964 }, 4:{ span=4 cap=925 }, 5:{ span=5 cap=964 }, 6:{ span=6 cap=967 }, 7:{ span=7 cap=967 } [ 2.158357] CPU1 attaching sched-domain(s): [ 2.158964] domain-0: span=0-7 level=MC [...]
Without this the NUMA domains are built correctly:
Without which? My patch, Ionela's patch, or both?
Revert your patch only will have below result, sorry for the ambiguous. Before reverting, for CPU 0, MC should span 0-1 but with your patch it's extended to 0-7 and the scheduler domain build will stop at MC level because it has reached all the CPUs.
[ 2.008885] CPU0 attaching sched-domain(s): [ 2.009764] domain-0: span=0-1 level=MC [ 2.012654] groups: 0:{ span=0 cap=962 }, 1:{ span=1 cap=925 } [ 2.016532] domain-1: span=0-3 level=NUMA [ 2.017444] groups: 0:{ span=0-1 cap=1887 }, 2:{ span=2-3 cap=1871 } [ 2.019354] domain-2: span=0-5 level=NUMA
I'm not following this topology - what in the description above should result in a domain with span=0-5?
It emulates a 3-hop NUMA machine and the NUMA domains will be built according to the NUMA distances:
node 0 1 2 3 0: 10 12 20 22 1: 12 10 22 24 2: 20 22 10 12 3: 22 24 12 10
So for CPU 0 the NUMA domains will look like: NUMA domain 0 for local nodes (squashed to MC domain), CPU 0-1 NUMA domain 1 for nodes within distance 12, CPU 0-3 NUMA domain 2 for nodes within distance 20, CPU 0-5 NUMA domain 3 for all the nodes, CPU 0-7
Thanks.

Hope to see your comments since I have no Ampere machine and I don't know how to emulate its topology on qemu.
