No, it should stay logical, conversion would be just to translate into OS/physical. > Additionally, what exactly is the logical ordering defined to be? See topology.c, it's always topologically ordered, and then ordered by OS cpu numbers. So for instance if the topology is flat, the OS CPU numbers would get used. Then the topology distorts the OS CPU numbering. So logical ordering is as close as OS CPU numbering as possible, constrained by topology. > We need to guarantee that it is the same across every run, It is, unless the BIOS changes the CPU numbers. > I see that topology-linux.c uses diropen() No need to read the OS backends code, the whole sort is achieved in the generic topology.c code. > My point: if we're going to have a logical ordering, we should be able to > provide at least some level of guarantee of stability about that logical > ordering. > > Make sense? For sure since that was precisely what I had in my when I put the sorting code in the generic part. Samuel
