Several ACPI static tables contain references to proximity domains. ACPI 6.3 has clarified that only entries in SRAT may define a new domain (sec 5.2.16). Those tables described in the ACPI spec have additional clarifying text. NFIT: Table 5-132, "Integer that represents the proximity domain to which the memory belongs. This number must match with corresponding entry in the SRAT table." HMAT: Table 5-145, "... This number must match with the corresponding entry in the SRAT table's processor affinity structure ... if the initiator is a processor, or the Generic Initiator Affinity Structure if the initiator is a generic initiator". IORT and DMAR are defined by external specifications. Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Rev 3.1 does not make any explicit statements, but the general SRAT statement above will still apply. https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/c5/15/vt-directed-io-spec.pdf IO Remapping Table, Platform Design Document rev D, also makes not explicit statement, but refers to ACPI SRAT table for more information and again the generic SRAT statement above applies. https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0049/d/ In conclusion, any proximity domain specified in these tables, should be a reference to a proximity domain also found in SRAT, and they should not be able to instantiate a new domain. Hence we switch to pxm_to_node() which will only return existing nodes.

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.
