Hi Chenyu.
Yes this direction look good to me. Regarding the arch_llc_mask(),
how about the following per Srikar's description
const struct cpumask *arch_llc_mask(int cpu)
{
/* Power9, CACHE domain is the LLC*/ if (shared_caches)
return cpu_l2_cache_mask(cpu);
/* P7, P8, P10, P11, SMT domain is the LLC*/ return
cpu_smt_mask(cpu);
}
thanks,
Chenyu
Yes. this is what i was thinking too. I have the patch, let me send it
across shortly. It is fixing the boot panic for me in SPLPAR. Hopefully
it should work for others too.
I will send it as reply to main thread so one doesn't miss it out.
