Subject: [RFC FIX v1 0/2] powerpc: Fix memory unplug failure for radix guests
Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2018 16:35:19 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1515150321-24894-1-git-send-email-bharata@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
This is an RFC patchset to fix the call trace observed during memory
unplug for radix guests. The problem and the fix is described in patch 2/2.
The ideal fix for this is to break the bigger radix mapping into smaller
mappings during memory hot removal, but in the meanwhile I am just posting
an alternate and easier solution which of course, has its own
limitations (mentioned in 2/2)
Changes in v1:
--------------
- Move mmu-early-init-devtree() ahead of scanning memory DT nodes
so that we know if the guest is radix or not when scanning
memory nodes.
- Make the marking of hotpluggable only if the guest is radix.
v0: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/800142/
