[Impact]
Intel Skylake server processors and onward have a different Last Level
Cache (LLC) topology than earlier processors, and such processors have
a new feature called Sub-NUMA-Clustering (SNC) which is similar to the
existing Cluster-On-Die (CoD) feature earlier server processors has.
Sub-NUMA-Clustering divides the system into two "slices", each of
which are allocated half the CPU cores, half the Last Level Cache and
one memory controller. Each slice is enumerated as a NUMA node.
The difference between Sub-NUMA-Clustering and Cluster-On-Die is how
the Last Level Cache is exposed to each NUMA node. CoD had the same
cache line present in each half of the LLC. In SNC, each cache line is
only present in its respective slice. Because of this, the semantics
around accessing LLC changes, with a process accessing NUMA-local
memory only seeing half the LLC capacity.
On systems with Sub-NUMA-Clustering enabled, on the Xenial 4.4 and
Bionic 4.15 kernels we see the following oops during NUMA node
enumeration:
.... node #0, CPUs: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6
.... node #1, CPUs: #7
sched: CPU #7's llc-sibling CPU #0 is not on the same node! [node: 1 != 0].
Ignoring dependency.

This was with a Intel Xeon Gold 5120 CPU on a HP DL360 Gen10.
The oops happens because topology_sane() checks to see if the Last
Level Cache line matches across different CPUs, which it no longer
does.
[Fix]
The fix comes in the form of the following upstream commit, which
landed in Linux 4.17:
commit 1340ccfa9a9afefdbab90d7935d4ed19817e37c2
Author: Alison Schofield <alison.schofi...@intel.com>
Date: Fri Apr 6 17:21:30 2018 -0700
Subject: x86,sched: Allow topologies where NUMA nodes share an LLC
Link:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1340ccfa9a9afefdbab90d7935d4ed19817e37c2
The commit adds a check for this particular family of Intel
processors, and if the CPU family matches, it simply skips the check
to topology_sane().
The commit needs minor backports to Xenial 4.4 and Bionic 4.15, with
the only remarks being re-arranging #includes and small context
fixups.
[Testcase]
Unfortunately, this is hardware specific. To test this, you need a
Intel Skylake server processor which supports Sub-NUMA-Clustering.
We have a customer with a Intel Xeon Gold 5120 CPU on a HP DL360 Gen10
that has successfully tested the below test kernels, with good
results.
Xenial 4.4 ppa:

Xenial 4.15 HWE ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~mruffell/+archive/ubuntu/sf280048-test-hwe
Running the test kernel, the oops does not reproduce:
smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
x86: Booting SMP configuration:
.... node #0, CPUs: #1
NMI watchdog: Enabled. Permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.
#2 #3 #4 #5 #6
.... node #1, CPUs: #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13
.... node #0, CPUs: #14 #15 #16 #17 #18 #19 #20
.... node #1, CPUs: #21 #22 #23 #24 #25 #26 #27
smp: Brought up 2 nodes, 28 CPUs
smpboot: Max logical packages: 1
smpboot: Total of 28 processors activated
[Regression Potential]
The commit modifies a small section of smpboot code, which every
machine will execute on boot. The majority of the commit breaks up a
large if statement into smaller blocks than it was previously, and
adds an extra if statement to check for a specific processor family.
If a regression were to occur, some machines would or would not make
their calls to topology_sane(), which in the worst case, would result
in a oops message and slightly degraded performance. The system would
still function normally.
The commit has been present since 4.17-rc2 and is present in Eoan and
Focal. There are no fixup commits, and no additional processor
families have been added since.
Because of the small re-arrangement in logic, and the addition of a
processor family check, these changes are fairly minor, and I don't
think it will cause any regressions.
