You always have at least 1 numa node, at least 1 core, and at least 1
hyperthread, so you'd only get a zero in those if there was a bug in the
Xen hypervisor
Yes, I understood that any of those being zero would not make
sense. I mean, what if a caller of sexpr_to_xend_node_info
were to provide a bogus root sexpr?
Is it worth the added comparison to protect against that?
int p = info->nodes * info->cores * info->threads;
if (p == 0)
return -1;
info->sockets = nr_cpus / p;
