[LU-5751] misconfiguration crashes cfs_cpt_set_node

Fri, 20 Feb 2015 15:01:00 +0000

We are experimenting with various configurations and usage of Lustre on a UV system, and thought we'd try stuffing all things Lustre onto the node adjacent to the ib card with a single partition on node 3.

The trigger:
/etc/modprobe.d/Lustre.conf :
options lnet accept_port=50 networks=o2ib0(ib0)
options ptlrpc ptlrpcd_bind_policy=4
options libcfs cpu_pattern="N 0[30-39]"

This system only has 10 NUMA nodes, so this is a mis configuration. That should be "N 0[3]" for my desired effect. But the error handing could be improved.
