Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: start rtasd before PCI probing
Date: Mon, 23 May 2016 10:28:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <146399210850.26372.5857516772891352049.stgit@bahia.huguette.org> (raw)

A strange behaviour is observed when comparing PCI hotplug in QEMU, between
x86 and pseries. If you consider the following steps:
- start a VM
- add a PCI device via the QEMU monitor before the rtasd has started (for
  example starting the VM in paused state, or hotplug during FW or boot
  loader)
- resume the VM execution

The x86 kernel detects the PCI device, but the pseries one does not.

This happens because the rtasd kernel worker is currently started under
device_initcall, while PCI probing happens earlier under subsys_initcall.

As a consequence, if we have a pending RTAS event at boot time, a message
is printed and the event is dropped.

This patch moves all the initialization of rtasd to arch_initcall, which is
run before subsys_call: this way, logging_enabled is true when the RTAS
event pops up and it is not lost anymore.

The proc fs bits stay at device_initcall because they cannot be run before
fs_initcall.
