[PATCH] driver core: platform: expose numa_node to users in sysfs

2020-06-01 Thread Barry Song
For some platform devices like iommu, particually ARM smmu, users may care about the numa locality. for example, if threads and drivers run near iommu, they may get much better performance on dma_unmap_sg. For other platform devices, users may still want to know the hardware topology. Cc: Prime
