[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 3/9] xen: derive NUMA node affinity from hard and soft CPU affinity

[Dario Faggioli <dario.faggioli@xxxxxxxxxx>]

if a domain's NUMA node-affinity (which is what controls
memory allocations) is provided by the user/toolstack, it
just is not touched. However, if the user does not say
anything, leaving it all to Xen, let's compute it in the
following way:

 1. cpupool's cpus & hard-affinity & soft-affinity
 2. if (1) is empty: cpupool's cpus & hard-affinity

This guarantees memory to be allocated from the narrowest
possible set of NUMA nodes, ad makes it relatively easy to
set up NUMA-aware scheduling on top of soft affinity.

Changes from v3:
 * avoid pointless calls to cpumask_clear(), as requested
   during review;
 * ASSERT() non emptyness of cpupool & hard affinity, as
   suggested during review.

Changes from v2:
 * the loop computing the mask is now only executed when
   it really is useful, as suggested during review;
 * the loop, and all the cpumask handling is optimized,
   in a way similar to what was suggested during review.
