Hi Nilay,

> In the current design, a numa-node is made online only if
> that node is attached to cpu/memory. With this design, if
> any PCI/IO device is found to be attached to a numa-node
> which is not online then the numa-node id of the corresponding
> PCI/IO device is set to NUMA_NO_NODE(-1). This design may
> negatively impact the performance of PCIe device if the
> numa-node assigned to PCIe device is -1 because in such case
> we may not be able to accurately calculate the distance
> between two nodes.
> The multi-controller NVMe PCIe disk has an issue with
> calculating the node distance if the PCIe NVMe controller
> is attached to a PCI host bridge which has numa-node id
> value set to NUMA_NO_NODE. This patch helps fix this ensuring
> that a cpu/memory less numa node is made online if it's
> attached to PCI host bridge.

Looks good to me.
