Subject: [PATCH V3 0/3] powerpc/hotplug: Fix affinity assoc for LPAR migration
Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2018 11:31:41 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0658ebca-aa3c-9251-9d74-b645633a750a@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
The migration of LPARs across Power systems affects many attributes
including that of the associativity of memory blocks and CPUs. The
patches in this set execute when a system is coming up fresh upon a
migration target. They are intended to,
* Recognize changes to the associativity of memory and CPUs recorded
in internal data structures when compared to the latest copies in
the device tree (e.g. ibm,dynamic-memory, ibm,dynamic-memory-v2,
cpus),
* Recognize changes to the associativity mapping (e.g. ibm,
associativity-lookup-arrays), locate all assigned memory blocks
corresponding to each changed row, and readd all such blocks.
* Generate calls to other code layers to reset the data structures
related to associativity of the CPUs and memory.
* Re-register the 'changed' entities into the target system.
Re-registration of CPUs and memory blocks mostly entails acting as
if they have been newly hot-added into the target system.

Michael Bringmann (3):
hotplug/mobility: Apply assoc lookup updates for Post Migration Topo
postmigration/memory: Review assoc lookup array changes
postmigration/memory: Associativity & 'ibm,dynamic-memory-v2'
---
Changes in V3:
-- Rename pseries_update_drconf_cpu to pseries_update_cpu
-- Simplify code to update CPU nodes during mobility checks.
Remove functions to generate extra HP_ELOG messages in favor
of direct function calls to dlpar_cpu_readd_by_index, or
dlpar_memory_readd_by_index.
-- Move check for "cpu" node type from pseries_update_cpu to
pseries_smp_notifier in 'hotplug-cpu.c'
-- Remove functions 'pseries_memory_readd_by_index' and
'pseries_cpu_readd_by_index' as no longer needed outside of
'mobility.c'.
