Hi Igor,
ec78f8114bc4c1 "numa: use possible_cpus for not mapped CPUs check" added a
warning about "All CPU(s) up to maxcpus should be described in NUMA config,
ability to start up with partial NUMA mappings is obsoleted and will be
removed in future" and this is printed when I add a numa node without
attached CPU like this:
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=4G
-numa node,nodeid=1,mem=131072M
And the reason for this command line is that I am trying to pass some dodgy
host RAM (actually belongs to a GPU but directly accessible via a fast
NVLink, not PCI fabric) which let's say is equally far from all CPUs, at
least in the host's NUMA config this memory is also not bound to any CPU:
[aik@aik ~]$ ssh yc02goos numactl -H

I am not sure I'll progress far enough to get this working with VFIO but if
I do, I'd like to keep an ability to have such a partial config in the
future. What was the reason for this warning in the first place?

Warning you see is about CPU(s) not assigned to any node
and it has noting to do with cpu-less node.
What's the full CLI you are using?

-numa node,nodeid=1,mem=131072M - will assign some chunk of initial RAM to
cpu-less node. It might serve purpose of cpu-less node simulation and nothing else.
You won't be able to pass it GPU memory this way though.
It might be possible using -numa node,nodeid=1,memdev=foo
but knowing nothing about NVLink, I'm not sure how it's shared with
GPU (PCI) and per node memory controllers.

a CPU(including possible ones) shouldn't hung in nowhere,
it should be assigned to some node to describe its relation to memory on nodes.

I do not have it handy but it included:
-smp 2 -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=4G -numa node,nodeid=1,mem=131072M
And your explanation about nonassigned CPUs makes sense, thanks!
