Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] powerpc/papr_scm: Force a scm-unbind if initial scm-bind fails
Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2019 17:57:09 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190625122709.11846-4-vaibhav@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190625122709.11846-1-vaibhav@linux.ibm.com>

In some cases initial bind of scm memory for an lpar can fail if
previously it wasn't released using a scm-unbind hcall. This situation
can arise due to panic of the previous kernel or forced lpar
fadump. In such cases the H_SCM_BIND_MEM return a H_OVERLAP error.

To mitigate such cases the patch updates papr_scm_probe() to force a
call to drc_pmem_unbind() in case the initial bind of scm memory fails
with EBUSY error. In case scm-bind operation again fails after the
forced scm-unbind then we follow the existing error path. We also
update drc_pmem_bind() to handle the H_OVERLAP error returned by phyp
and indicate it as a EBUSY error back to the caller.

Change-log:

v2:

  [Oliver]
* Changed the type of variable 'rc' in drc_pmem_bind() to
  int64_t. [Oliver]
