The numa_emulation() routine in the 'uniform' case walks through all the
physical 'memblk' instances and divides them into N emulated nodes with
split_nodes_size_interleave_uniform(). As each physical node is consumed it
is removed from the physical memblk array in the numa_remove_memblk_from()
helper.
Since split_nodes_size_interleave_uniform() handles advancing the array as
the 'memblk' is consumed it is expected that the base of the array is
always specified as the argument.
Otherwise, on multi-socket (> 2) configurations the uniform-split
capability can generate an invalid numa configuration leading to boot
failures with signatures like the following:
rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
