how to check numa in OL8

User_U1UYAJul 20 2020 — edited Jul 21 2020

Hi everybody,

It is very confusing to check numa disable and I got different results.

[root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep -i  numa

[    0.120889] No NUMA configuration found   <<--- shows NUMA config disabled

[root@localhost ~]# find /proc -name numa_maps   

/proc/1/task/1/numa_maps                             <<----- seems like NUMA is enabled, so many tasks

/proc/1/numa_maps

/proc/2/task/2/numa_maps

/proc/2/numa_maps

/proc/3/task/3/numa_maps

/proc/3/numa_maps

…...

[root@localhost ~]# grep NUMA=y /boot/config-`uname -r`

CONFIG_NUMA=y                    <<---  confusing, NUMA enabled ?

CONFIG_AMD_NUMA=y

CONFIG_X86_64_ACPI_NUMA=y

CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA=y

I already explicity set numa to disabled and grub again, reboot twice after that

in /etc/default/grub

      GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/ol-swap rd.lvm.lv=ol/root rd.lvm.lv=ol/swap  rhgb quiet numa=off"  <<--- set NUMA OFF

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Please advise how to check if numa is disabled.

Thanks
