Subject: powerpc/rfi-flush: Make it possible to call setup_rfi_flush() again
To: gre...@linuxfoundation.org
Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org, linuxppc-...@ozlabs.org
Message-ID: <20180602110908.29773-6-...@ellerman.id.au>
From: Michael Ellerman <m...@ellerman.id.au>
commit abf110f3e1cea40f5ea15e85f5d67c39c14568a7 upstream.
For PowerVM migration we want to be able to call setup_rfi_flush()
again after we've migrated the partition.
To support that we need to check that we're not trying to allocate the
fallback flush area after memblock has gone away (i.e., boot-time only).
