Subject: [PATCH v2] PCI: hv: Set default NUMA node to 0 for devices without affinity info
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 14:07:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316210742.1240128-1-longli@microsoft.com> (raw)

When hv_pci_assign_numa_node() processes a device that does not have
HV_PCI_DEVICE_FLAG_NUMA_AFFINITY set or has an out-of-range
virtual_numa_node, the device NUMA node is left unset. On x86_64,
the uninitialized default happens to be 0, but on ARM64 it is
NUMA_NO_NODE (-1).

Tests show that when no NUMA information is available from the Hyper-V
host, devices perform best when assigned to node 0. With NUMA_NO_NODE
the kernel may spread work across NUMA nodes, which degrades
performance on Hyper-V, particularly for high-throughput devices like
MANA.

Always set the device NUMA node to 0 before the conditional NUMA
affinity check, so that devices get a performant default when the host
provides no NUMA information, and behavior is consistent on both
x86_64 and ARM64.

Fixes: 999dd956d838 ("PCI: hv: Add support for protocol 1.3 and support PCI_BUS_RELATIONS2")

Changes in v2:
- Rewrite commit message to focus on performance as the primary
  motivation: NUMA_NO_NODE causes the kernel to spread work across
  NUMA nodes, degrading performance on Hyper-V
