This change seems to have had the non-obvious effect of breaking the
powerpc KVM build.

Because struct kvm contains two srcu_structs which are located
before the kvm_arch struct, the increase in size of srcu_struct has
caused the offset from the start of struct kvm to kvm_arch to be too big
for some of our asm.

struct kvm {
	spinlock_t mmu_lock;
	struct mutex slots_lock;
	struct mm_struct *mm; /* userspace tied to this vm */
	struct kvm_memslots *memslots[KVM_ADDRESS_SPACE_NUM];
	struct srcu_struct srcu;
	struct srcu_struct irq_srcu;
        ...
	struct kvm_arch arch;


Example error:
  arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S:617: Error: operand out of range (0x000000000000b328 is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007fff)

Where line 617 is:
  lwz	r7,KVM_LPID(r9)

And the KVM_LPID constant comes from asm-offsets.s. The diff of old vs
new is:

  -->KVM_LPID 17752 offsetof(struct kvm, arch.lpid)	 #
  +->KVM_LPID 45864 offsetof(struct kvm, arch.lpid)	 #


We can probably just fix it by changing the asm to keep the address of
kvm_arch in a register, and then offset from that.

Michael, if you want to move the two srcu structs at the end of struct
kvm, that would be fine by me.  Please send a patch yourself so you can
test it on PPC.  Thanks,

On the off-chance that it is at all helpful, I have added the commit
shown below to -rcu.  If it helps, I am happy to push this, but am
just as happy to drop it in favor of some other fix.  If at all possible,
I would like to get this into the upcoming merge window.

Thanks, this looks perfect to me, and if you're happy to put it on top
of your tree that would limit the breakage to a smaller history window,
so that would be ideal.

Subject: kvm: Move srcu_struct fields to end of struct kvm

Parallelizing SRCU callback handling increased the size of srcu_struct,
which moved the kvm_arch field within the kvm struct out of reach of
powerpc's current assembly code, resulting in the following sort of
build error:

arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S:617: Error: operand out of range (0x000000000000b328 is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007fff)

This commit moves the srcu_struct fields in the kvm structure to follow
the kvm_arch field, which again allows powerpc's assembly code to
reach it.

Thank you, Michael!

Paolo, does this look good to you?  My upstream maintainer will be much
more likely to take this with your ack.  ;-)

Sure,

since I don't expect conflicts between whoever applies this patch and
