This patch adds the ability to do memory hotplug add in the kernel. Currently the operation to hotplug add memory is handled by the drmgr command which performs the operation by performing some work in user-space and making requests to the kernel to handle other pieces. By moving all of the work to the kernel we can do the add faster, and provide a common code path to do memory hotplug for both the PowerVM and PowerKVM environments.

The current hotplug (or dlpar) of devices (the process is generally the same for memory, cpu, and pci) on PowerVM systems is initiated from the HMC, which communicates the request to the partitions through the RSCT framework. The RSCT framework then invokes the drmgr command. The drmgr command performs the hotplug operation by doing some pieces, such as most of the rtas calls and device tree parsing, in userspace and make requests to the kernel to online/offline the device, update the device tree and add/remove the device. For PowerKVM the approach for device hotplug is to follow what is currently being done for pci hotplug. A hotplug request is initiated from the host. QEMU then generates an EPOW interrupt to the guest which causes the guest to make the rtas,check-exception call. In QEMU, the rtas,check-exception call returns a rtas hotplug event to the guest. Please note that the current pci hotplug path for PowerKVM involves the kernel receiving the rtas hotplug event, passing it to rtas_errd in userspace, and having rtas_errd invoke drmgr. The drmgr command then handles the request as described above for PowerVM systems. There is no need for this circuitous route, we should just handle the entire hotplug of devices in the kernel. What I am planning is to enable this by moving the code to handle hotplug from drmgr into the kernel to provide a single path for handling device hotplug for both PowerVM and PowerKVM systems. This patch provides the common iframework and entry point. For PowerKVM a future update to the kernel rtas code will recognize rtas hotplug events returned from rtas,check-exception calls and use the common entry point to handle hotplug of the device. For PowerVM systems, This patch creates /sys/kernel/dlpar that can be used by the drmgr command to initiate hotplug requests. In order to do this a string of the format "<resource> <action> <id_type> <id>" is written to this file. The string consists of a resource (cpu, memory, pci, phb), an action (add or remove), an id_type (count, drc index, drc name), and the corresponding id. The kernel will parse the string and create a rtas hotplug section that can be passed to the common entry point for handling hotplug requests. It should be noted that there is no chance of updating how we receive hotplug (dlpar) requests from the HMC on PowerVM systems.

Currently, devicetree reconfig notifiers get emitted before the change is applied to the tree, but that behaviour is problematic if the receiver wants the determine the new state of the tree. The current users don't care, but the changeset code to follow will be making multiple changes at once. Reorder notifiers to get emitted after the change has been applied to the tree so that callbacks see the new tree state. At the same time, fixup the existing callbacks to expect the new order. There are a few callbacks that compare the old and new values of a changed property. Put both property pointers into the of_prop_reconfig structure. The current notifiers also allow the notifier callback to fail and cancel the change to the tree, but that feature isn't actually used. It really isn't valid to ignore a tree modification provided by firmware anyway, so remove the ability to cancel a change to the tree.

While testing memory hot-remove, I found following dead lock: Process #1141 is drmgr, trying to remove some memory, i.e. memory499. It holds the memory_hotplug_mutex, and blocks when trying to remove file "online" under dir memory499, in kernfs_drain(), at wait_event(root->deactivate_waitq, atomic_read(&kn->active) == KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS); Process #1120 is trying to online memory499 by echo 1 > memory499/online In .kernfs_fop_write, it uses kernfs_get_active() to increase &kn->active, thus blocking process #1141.

The memory remove code for powerpc/pseries should call remove_memory() so that we are holding the hotplug_memory lock during memory remove operations. This patch updates the memory node remove handler to call remove_memory() and adds a ppc_md.remove_memory() entry to handle pseries specific work that is called from arch_remove_memory(). During memory remove in pseries_remove_memblock() we have to stay with removing memory one section at a time. This is needed because of how memory resources are handled. During memory add for pseries (via the probe file in sysfs) we add memory one section at a time which gives us a memory resource for each section. Future patches will aim to address this so will not have to remove memory one section at a time.

__remove_pages() is only necessary for CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. PowerPC pseries will return -EOPNOTSUPP if unsupported. Adding an #ifdef causes several other functions it depends on to also become unnecessary, which saves in .text when disabled (it's disabled in most defconfigs besides powerpc, including x86). remove_memory_block() becomes static since it is not referenced outside of drivers/base/memory.c.

This patch moves the notification chain for updates to the device tree from the powerpc/pseries code to the base OF code. This makes this functionality available to all architectures. Additionally the notification chain is updated to allow notifications for property add/remove/update. To make this work a pointer to a new struct (of_prop_reconfig) is passed to the routines in the notification chain. The of_prop_reconfig property contains a pointer to the node containing the property and a pointer to the property itself. In the case of property updates, the property pointer refers to the new property.

memory-hotplug: suppress "Trying to free nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>" warning When our x86 box calls __remove_pages(), release_mem_region() shows many warnings. And x86 box cannot unregister iomem_resource. "Trying to free nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>" release_mem_region() has been changed to be called in each PAGES_PER_SECTION by commit de7f0cba ("memory hotplug: release memory regions in PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks"). Because powerpc registers iomem_resource in each PAGES_PER_SECTION chunk. But when I hot add memory on x86 box, iomem_resource is register in each _CRS not PAGES_PER_SECTION chunk. So x86 box unregisters iomem_resource. The patch fixes the problem.

Just compiling pseries in the kernel causes it to override memory_block_size_bytes() regardless of what is the runtime platform. This cleans up the implementation of that function, fixing a bug or two while at it, so that it's harmless (and potentially useful) for other platforms. Without this, bugs in that code would trigger a WARN_ON() in drivers/base/memory.c when booting some different platforms. If/when we have another platform supporting memory hotplug we might want to either move that out to a generic place or make it a ppc_md. callback.

This updates the device tree manipulation routines so that memory add/remove of lmbs represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node of the device tree invokes the hotplug notifier chain. This change is needed because of the change in the way memory is represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node. All lmbs are described in the ibm,dynamic-memory property instead of having a separate node for each lmb as in previous device tree layouts. This requires the update_node() routine to check for updates to the ibm,dynamic-memory property and invoke the hotplug notifier chain. This also updates the pseries hotplug notifier to be able to gather information for lmbs represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node and have the lmbs added/removed.

Until this point, systems that have had memory represented in the device tree with a node for each lmb the drc index would (luckily) closely track the base address of the lmb. For example a lmb with a drc index of 8000000a would have a base address of a0000000. This correlation allowed the current code to derive the starting page frame number from the drc inddex Device tree layouts where lmbs are represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node in the ibm,dynamic-memory property do not have this correlation between the drc index and base address of the lmb.

The powerpc kernel maintains information about logical memory blocks in the lmb.memory structure, which is initialized and updated at boot time, but not when memory is added or removed while the kernel is running. This adds a hotplug memory notifier which updates lmb.memory when memory is added or removed. This information is useful for eHEA driver to find out the memory layout and holes. NOTE: No special locking is needed for lmb_add() and lmb_remove(). Calls to these are serialized by caller. (pSeries_reconfig_chain).

Hotplug memory remove notifier for 64-bit powerpc. This gets invoked by writing to /proc/ppc64/ofdt the string "remove_node " followed by the firmware device tree pathname of the node that needs to be removed. In response, this adjusts the sections and removes sysfs entries by calling __remove_pages(). Then it calls arch-specific code to get rid of the hardware MMU mappings for the section of memory.
