Hi, EEH recovery is currently serialized and these patches shorten the time taken for EEH recovery by making the recovery to run in parallel. The original author of these patches is Sam Bobroff, I have rebased and tested these patches.
On powervm with 64 VFs from same PHB, I see approximately 48% reduction in time taken in EEH recovery. On powernv with 9 network cards, Where 2 cards installed on one PHB and 1 card on each of the rest of the PHBs, Providing 20 PFs in total. I see approximately 33% reduction in time taken in EEH recovery. These patches were originally posted as separate RFCs by Sam, And I rebased and posted these patches almost a year back, I stopped pursuing these patches as I was not able test this on powernv, Due to the issues in drivers of cards I was testing this on, Which are now resolved. Since I am re-posting this after long time, Posting this as a fresh RFC, Please comment. Thanks.
