Subject: powerpc/rfi-flush: Always enable fallback flush on pseries
To: g...@kroah.com
Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org, t...@linutronix.de, linuxppc-...@ozlabs.org
Message-ID: <20180522144125.10345-2-...@ellerman.id.au>
From: Michael Ellerman <m...@ellerman.id.au>
commit 84749a58b6e382f109abf1e734bc4dd43c2c25bb upstream.
This ensures the fallback flush area is always allocated on pseries,
so in case a LPAR is migrated from a patched to an unpatched system,
it is possible to enable the fallback flush in the target system.
