Your patch applies to the tree at v4.8-14604-g29fbff8698fc, but the function the hunk modifies is not smp_cpu_setup(), it is acpi_map_gic_cpu_interface():

Anyway, your patch works with both the two-node NUMA configuration Drew suggested for testing, and with the single-node config that I originally used for the bisection. Therefore:

Tested-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>
Reported-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>

Thank you very much for the quick bugfix! And, I think your patch (when you send it for real) should carry

Fixes: 7ba5f605f3a0d9495aad539eeb8346d726dfc183

too, because it supplies the cpu#0<->node#xxx association that 7ba5f605f3a0 removed not just for DT, but also for ACPI.

Cheers!
Laszlo
