Hi,

That commit ID doesn't seem to be in mainline (I can't find it in my
local tree). Which tree are you using? Do you have local patches
applied?

I take it that by "enable NUMA in BIOS", you mean exposing SRAT to the
OS?

Much earlier in your log, there was a (non-fatal) warning, as below. Do
you see this without NUMA/SRAT enabled in your FW? I don't see how the
SRAT should affect the secondaries we try to bring online.

Given your MPIDRs have Aff2 bits set, I wonder if we've conflated a
logical ID with a physical ID somewhere, and it just so happens that the
NUMA code is more likely to poke something based on that.

Can you modify the warning in cpumask.h to dump the bad CPU number? That
would make it fairly clear if that's the case.

Thanks,
Mark.
