Run PCI driver initialization on local node Instead of adding messy kmalloc_node()s everywhere run the PCI driver probe on the node local to the device. This would not have helped for IDE, but should for other more clean drivers that do more initialization in probe(). It won't help for drivers that do most of the work on first open (like many network drivers) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen cc: christoph@lameter.com Index: linux/drivers/pci/pci-driver.c =================================================================== --- linux.orig/drivers/pci/pci-driver.c +++ linux/drivers/pci/pci-driver.c @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #include "pci.h" /* @@ -167,6 +168,34 @@ const struct pci_device_id *pci_match_de return NULL; } +static int pci_call_probe(struct pci_driver *drv, struct pci_dev *dev, + const struct pci_device_id *id) +{ + int error; +#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA + /* Execute driver initialization on node where the + device's bus is attached to.
