This series is based on David's ppc-for-2.8 branch, and is also available from:
https://github.com/mdroth/qemu/commits/spapr-hotplug-event-update Changes since RFC: * Submit as v1 now that PAPR Hotplug ACR is accepted * Rebase on latest ppc-for-2.8 (with device-tree refactoring) * address Patchew warnings * add comments to clarify spapr->ov5/ov5_cas usage. (David) * revise comment to clarify intent when setting spapr->ov5 OV5_HP_EVT bit. (Bharata) * drop internal usage of spapr_ovec_from_bitmap() in favor of directly assigning bitmap to sPAPROptionVector instances. (David) * standardize meaning of 'vector_len' variable through spapr_ovec_* functions to be the byte-wise length of option vectors entries, and not including the preceeding length byte itself. (David) * fix spapr_ovec_populate_dt() to parse up to OV_MAXBITS bits rather than OV_MAXBITS - 1. (David) * fix spapr_ovec_populate_dt() encode the minimum of 1 option vector byte instead of the max of OV_MAXBYTES in cases where no option bits are set. (David) * add some comments to spapr_ovec_populate_dt() to clarify what is being encoded into length byte of ibm,architecture-vec-5 * switch 'legacy-hotplug-events' option to 'modern-hotplug-events' (David) * modify rtas_event_log_to_source() to check for OV5_HP_EVT option rather than relying on whether the hotplug source is specifically enabled. Assert the latter in cases where OV5_HP_EVT is set. (Bharata) * drop global EventSource list in favor of an sPAPREventSource list field within sPAPRMachineState (David) * add CPU unplug hook in mc->unplug_request (Bharata) Patches 1-4 address various deficiencies in how we currently handle option vectors via ibm,client-architecture-support. This is done here in preparation for a new option vector bit introduced later in this series, as well as a number of future option vector bits related to other features, but I can break this out into a separate series if preferred. Patches 5-7 add support for an updated event format for hotplug events, which includes a new way to specify a range of DRCs/LMBs to hotplug/unplug using a starting position and count, which is necessary for memory unplug. The format for this new event format is still in draft form, but slated for inclusion in the PAPR/LoPAPR. Patches 8-10 add support for memory unplug using the new event format. In addition to kernel 4.8 or later, there are a number of patches required to enable support on the guest kernel side. I've including the minimum set of patches in my branch here: https://github.com/mdroth/linux/commits/spapr-hotplug-event-update *powerpc/pseries: advertise Hot Plug Event support to firmware powerpc/pseries: Implement indexed-count hotplug memory remove powerpc/pseries: Implement indexed-count hotplug memory add Note that there is currently an issue that arises when attempting to offline an LMB that was onlined using a guest kernel's auto-onlining mechanism, which can prevent full completion of memory unplug requests. This is being investigated, but for the purposes of testing this can be worked around currently by disabling auto-onlining in guests via: "echo offline >/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks" and instead onlining the blocks manually or via udev. docs/specs/ppc-spapr-hotplug.txt | 55 +++++++++++++++++++++----- hw/ppc/Makefile.objs | 2 +- hw/ppc/spapr.c | 243 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- hw/ppc/spapr_drc.c | 17 ++++++++ hw/ppc/spapr_events.c | 278 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------- hw/ppc/spapr_hcall.c | 70 ++++++++++++++------------------- hw/ppc/spapr_ovec.c | 242 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/hw/ppc/spapr.h | 17 ++++++-- include/hw/ppc/spapr_ovec.h | 67 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 868 insertions(+), 123 deletions(-)
