[PATCH v2 0/6] powerpc/pseries: Move CPU DLPAR into the kernel

[PATCH v2 0/6] powerpc/pseries: Move CPU DLPAR into the kernel

[Nathan Fontenot]

To better support CPU hotplug in PowerKVM and PowerVM environments, the
handling of CPU dlpar should be done entirely in the kernel. This will allow
a common entry point to be used for PowerVM and PowerKVM CPU dlpar requests.

For both environments the entry point is the same one introduced in a previous
patch set that moved memory hotplug into the kernel. This entry point accepts
a rtas hotplug event which is either constructed when using the 
/sys/kernel/dlpar interface or is passed to the kernel when handling a
ras epow interrupt.

Note: The patches are based on top of two previous patches I sent out;

[PATCH v2 1/6] powerpc/pseries: Consolidate CPU hotplug code to hotplug-cpu.c

[Nathan Fontenot]

No functional changes, this patch is simply a move of the cpu hotplug
code from pseries/dlpar.c to pseries/hotplug-cpu.c. This is in an effort
to consolidate all of the cpu hotplug code in a common place.

[PATCH v2 2/6] powerpc/pseries: Factor out common cpu hotplug code

[Nathan Fontenot]

Re-factor the cpu hotplug code to support doing cpu hotplug completely in
the kernel and using the existing sysfs probe/release interfaces. This
patch pulls out pieces of existing cpu hotplug code into common routines,
dlpar_cpu_add() and dlpar_cpu_remove(), to be used by both interfaces.
There are no functional changes introduced.

[PATCH v2 3/6] powerpc/pseries: Update CPU hotplug error recovery

[Nathan Fontenot]

Update the cpu dlpar add/remove paths to do better error recovery when
a failure occurs during the add/remove operation.

Updates for v2:
- Corrected some pr_* statements moving pr_info to pr_debug staements
  and pr_debug to pr_warn statements.

[PATCH v2 4/6] powerpc/pseries: Add CPU dlpar remove functionality

[Nathan Fontenot]

Add the ability to dlpar remove CPUs via hotplug rtas events, either by
specifying the drc-index of the CPU to remove or providing a count of cpus
to remove.

To remove multiple cpus in a single request we create a list of possible
DR (Dynamic Reconfiguration) cpus and their drc indexes that can be
removed.  We can then traverse the list remove each cpu and easily clean
up in any cases of failure.

Signed-off-by: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
---

Updates for v2:
- use for_each_node_by_type() instead of for_each_child_of_node
- updated how the list of cpus to remove is generated
- change to remove all cpus requested or none at all
- put function declarations under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU

Does dlpar_cpu_remove() work when you still hold a reference to the dn?

It looks like dlpar_detach_node() does an of_node_put() also.

I'm not sure about the logic here with cpus_found and i. If you break here
cpus_found will be 1, but you found zero, which seems odd.

If instead you delayed the increment of i:

		rc = of_property_read_u32(dn, "ibm,my-drc-index",
					  &cpu_drcs[i]);
		if (rc) {
			of_node_put(dn);
			break;
		}

		i++;
	}

Then i would equal the number of cpus found at all times. If you need to count
one more in the if below you can just do that there.

On my two cpu system when I do "cpu remove count 1" this always says:

  pseries-hotplug-cpu: Failed to find enough CPUs (1 of 1) to remove

Which confuses me.

I suspect that's because I actually have one cpu *node*, which appears to Linux
as two cpus (due to SMT). So I think it's working as expected, but it's not
very clear from a user's perspective.

cheers

Yes, this works while holding the dn reference here.

Correct. The of_node_put() in dlpar_detach_node() is there to do a put
from the initial node creation, without this the reference count would never
go to zero and the node would not be released.

Agreed, it is a bit odd. The cpus_found var is meant to count the number of
cpus we find when looping through for_each_node_by_type() whereas i is just
meant to be an index into the cpu_cars array so we can save the drc-index
of the cpus we find. The variable i is just to index the array, nothing more.

Perhaps instead of having i to use as an index into the cpu_drcs array I
could just use [cpus_found - 1] to index cpu_drcs and get rid of i. Not sure
if that makes the code any easier to read.

You are correct. For Power CPU DLPAR works on a node basis. If there
is only one node it will not remove the last CPU.

I should update the cpus_found to check to print a message if the remove
request would entail removing the last CPU and that the request is being
failed because of that.


Thanks for the feedback,

So I just tried running this on my system, without doing anything on the HMC.

I have:

  # lsprop /proc/device-tree/cpus/ibm,drc-indexes 
  /proc/device-tree/cpus/ibm,drc-indexes
  		 00000002 10000000 10000002

So I think that says I have two cpus.

The first one is already added:

  /proc/device-tree/cpus/PowerPC,POWER6@0/ibm,my-drc-index
  		 10000000 (268435456)

But can I add the second one?

  # echo "cpu add count 1" > dlpar 
  RTAS: event: 34, Type: Platform Error, Severity: 2
  pseries-hotplug-cpu: Failed to acquire DRC, rc: -5, drc index: 10000002
  pseries-hotplug-cpu: CPU hot-add failed, removing any added CPUs
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument


Seems not. But I'm not clear why?

Adding by index doesn't work either:

  # echo "cpu add index 10000002" > dlpar
  pseries-hotplug-cpu: Failed to acquire DRC, rc: -1, drc index: 989682
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

That's a little confusing, drc index is hex obviously.

  [root@p6-10-P5-E0 kernel]# echo "cpu add index 0x10000002" > dlpar 
  RTAS: event: 35, Type: Platform Error, Severity: 2
  pseries-hotplug-cpu: Failed to acquire DRC, rc: -5, drc index: 10000002
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument


So that's probably all PEBKAC, but if we can make it more intutive that would be good.

cheers

The add request is failing because rtas call to acquire the resource is failing.
I have seen this on many systems lately. Previously one could add and remove
CPUs (and memory) by running the drmgr command on an LPAR manually and
everything would work. It seems there are now systems (not sure if its a
firmware or HMC update) that will only allow the rtas call to acquire the 
resource to succeed when the request is initiated from the HMC.

I can provide a patch for drmgr that uses the new sysfs interface so you
can drive the dlpar operations from the hmc.

I wrote the interface to take the drc index value in the format specified, so
without the 0x it assumes decimal. Should be a better error message in this case.

[PATCH v2 6/6] powerpc/pseries: Enable kernel CPU dlpar from sysfs

[Nathan Fontenot]

Enable new kernel cpu hotplug functionality by allowing cpu dlpar requests
to be initiated from sysfs.
