Loongson To Up Linux Kernel Limit To 2,048 LoongArch CPU Cores
Currently when building the Linux kernel for LoongArch processors there is a maximum limit of 256 CPU cores supported but with a pending patch that limit would be upped to 2,048 CPU cores.
Besides adjusting the NR_CPUS Kconfig range, some other minor kernel code changes are also needed to up the threshold from 256 to 2048 cores. While this LoongArch upper-limit threshold is being 2,048 cores doesn't mean Loongson will be launching products anytime soon that approach that limit.
