Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] x86/smpboot: avoid SMT domain attach/destroy if SMT is not enabled
Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2025 11:45:50 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250625034552.42365-3-me@linux.beauty> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250625034552.42365-1-me@linux.beauty>
From: Li Chen <chenl311@chinatelecom.cn>
Currently, the SMT domain is added into sched_domain_topology by default.
If cpu_attach_domain() finds that the CPU SMT domain’s cpumask_weight
is just 1, it will destroy it.
On a large machine, such as one with 512 cores, this results in
512 redundant domain attach/destroy operations.
Avoid these unnecessary operations by simply checking
cpu_smt_num_threads and remove SMT domain if the SMT domain is not
enabled, and adjust the PKG index accordingly if NUMA-in-package
invalidates that level as well.

v2: fix wording issue as suggested by Thomas [1]
v3: remove pointless memset and adjust PKG index accordingly,
as suggested by Thomas [2]
