Subject: sched/topology: Set correct NUMA topology type
From: Srikar Dronamraju <sri...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
[ Upstream commit e5e96fafd9028b1478b165db78c52d981c14f471 ]
With the following commit:
051f3ca02e46 ("sched/topology: Introduce NUMA identity node sched domain")
the scheduler introduced a new NUMA level. However this leads to the NUMA
topology
on 2 node systems to not be marked as NUMA_DIRECT anymore.
After this commit, it gets reported as NUMA_BACKPLANE, because
sched_domains_numa_level is now 2 on 2 node systems.
Fix this by allowing setting systems that have up to 2 NUMA levels as
NUMA_DIRECT.
While here remove code that assumes that level can be 0.
