Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Remove confusing warning message.
Date: Tue,  1 Oct 2019 15:29:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191001132928.72555-1-ldufour@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Since the commit 1211ee61b4a8 ("powerpc/pseries: Read TLB Block Invalidate
Characteristics"), a warning message is displayed when booting a guest on
top of KVM:

lpar: arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/lpar.c pseries_lpar_read_hblkrm_characteristics Error calling get-system-parameter (0xfffffffd)

This message is displayed because this hypervisor is not supporting the
H_BLOCK_REMOVE hcall and thus is not exposing the corresponding feature.

Reading the TLB Block Invalidate Characteristics should not be done if the
feature is not exposed.

Fixes: 1211ee61b4a8 ("powerpc/pseries: Read TLB Block Invalidate Characteristics")
