The RTAS set-indicator call, when attempting to UNISOLATE a DRC that is
already UNISOLATED or CONFIGURED, returns RTAS_OK and does nothing else
for both QEMU and phyp. This gives us an opportunity to use this
behavior to signal the hypervisor layer when an error during device
removal happens, allowing it to do a proper error handling, while not
breaking QEMU/phyp implementations that don't have this support.
This patch introduces this idea by unisolating all CPU DRCs that failed
to be removed by dlpar_cpu_remove_by_index(), when handling the
PSERIES_HP_ELOG_ID_DRC_INDEX event. This is being done for this event
only because its the only CPU removal event QEMU uses, and there's no
need at this moment to add this mechanism for phyp only code.
Have you also confirmed that phyp is not bothered by it? ie. everything
seems to continue working when you trigger this path on phyp.
Yes. Daniel Bueso (dbue...@us.ibm.com) from the partition firmware team
helped me with that. We confirmed that phyp returns RTAS_OK under these
conditions (Unisolating an unisolated/configured DRC).
Thanks,
