With "nosmp" I did observe a flood of "APIC error on CPU0: 04(04), Send accept error" log messages on an AMD system. And rightly so - nothing excludes the use of the shorthand in send_IPI_mask() in this case. Set "unaccounted_cpus" to "true" also when command line restrictions are the cause. Note that PV-shim mode is unaffected by this change, first and foremost because "nosmp" and "maxcpus=" are ignored in this case. Fixes: 5500d265a2a8 ("x86/smp: use APIC ALLBUT destination shorthand when possible") Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx> --- While in "nosmp" mode it's probably benign that we switch to the bigsmp APIC driver simply because there are more than 8 physical CPUs, I suppose that's inefficient when "maxcpus=" with a value between 2 and 8 (inclusive) is in use. Question is whether that's worthwhile to find a solution for. --- a/xen/arch/x86/mpparse.c +++ b/xen/arch/x86/mpparse.c @@ -84,9 +84,14 @@ void __init set_nr_cpu_ids(unsigned int if (!park_offline_cpus) tot_cpus = max_cpus; nr_cpu_ids = min(tot_cpus, NR_CPUS + 0u); - if (park_offline_cpus && nr_cpu_ids < num_processors) - printk(XENLOG_WARNING "SMP: Cannot bring up %u further CPUs\n", - num_processors - nr_cpu_ids); + if (nr_cpu_ids < num_processors) + { + unaccounted_cpus = true; + if (park_offline_cpus) + printk(XENLOG_WARNING + "SMP: Cannot bring up %u further CPUs\n", + num_processors - nr_cpu_ids); + } #ifndef nr_cpumask_bits nr_cpumask_bits = ROUNDUP(nr_cpu_ids, BITS_PER_LONG);
