The "topology=off" kernel parameter is supposed to prevent the kernel to use hardware topology information to generate scheduling domains etc. For an unknown reason I implemented this in a very odd way back then: instead of simply clearing the MACHINE_HAS_TOPOLOGY flag within the lowcore I added a second variable which indicated that topology information should not be used. This is more than suboptimal since it partially doesn't work. For the fake NUMA case topology information is still considered and scheduling domains will be created based on this. To fix this and to simplify the code get rid of the extra variable and implement the "topology=off" case like it is done for other features.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
