Worth saying why this matters I think. I wrote a nice note on that being a possible problem path as node_dev_init() uses the results of cpu_dev_init() if CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES before seeing this comment and realizing you had it covered (sort of anyway). > > Move cpu_dev_init() after node_dev_init() so that NUMA architectures > can use GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES. > > Signed-off-by: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com> > --- > drivers/base/init.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/base/init.c b/drivers/base/init.c > index 397eb9880cec..c4954835128c 100644 > --- a/drivers/base/init.c > +++ b/drivers/base/init.c > @@ -35,8 +35,8 @@ void __init driver_init(void) > of_core_init(); > platform_bus_init(); > auxiliary_bus_init(); > - cpu_dev_init(); > memory_dev_init(); > node_dev_init(); > + cpu_dev_init(); > container_dev_init(); > }

NUMA systems require the node descriptions to be ready before CPUs are registered. This is so that the node symlinks can be created in sysfs. Currently no NUMA platform uses GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES, meaning that CPUs are registered by arch code, instead of cpu_dev_init(). Move cpu_dev_init() after node_dev_init() so that NUMA architectures can use GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES.
