This prevents papr_scm from registering drc memory regions with nvdimm. The error reported is of the form below: "papr_scm ibm,persistent-memory:ibm,pmemory@44100002: bind err: -68" On investigation it was revealed that phyp returns this error as previous kernel did not completely release bindings for drc scm-memory blocks and hence phyp rejected request for re-binding these block to lpar with error H_OVERLAP. Also support for a new H_SCM_UNBIND_ALL is recently added which is better suited for releasing all the bound scm-memory block from an lpar. So leveraging new hcall H_SCM_UNBIND_ALL, we can workaround H_OVERLAP issue during kexec by forcing an unbind of all drm scm-memory blocks and issuing H_SCM_BIND_MEM to re-bind the drc scm-memory blocks to lpar. This sequence will also be needed when a new kernel boot on lpar after previous kernel panicked and it never got an opportunity to call H_SCM_UNBIND_MEM/ALL. Hence this patch-set implements following changes to papr_scm module: * Update it to use H_SCM_UNBIND_ALL instead of H_SCM_UNBIND_MEM * In case hcall H_SCM_BIND_MEM fails with error H_OVERLAP, force H_SCM_UNBIND_ALL and retry the bind operation again. With the patch-set applied re-bind of drc scm-memory to lpar succeeds after a kexec to new kernel as illustrated below: # Old kernel $ sudo ndctl list -R [ { "dev":"region0", .... } ] # kexec to new kernel $ sudo kexec --initrd=... vmlinux ... ... I'm in purgatory ... papr_scm ibm,persistent-memory:ibm,pmemory@44100002: Un-binding and retrying ... # New kernel $ sudo ndctl list -R $ sudo ndctl list -R [ { "dev":"region0", .... } ] Vaibhav Jain (2): powerpc/papr_scm: Update drc_pmem_unbind() to use H_SCM_UNBIND_ALL powerpc/papr_scm: Force a scm-unbind if initial scm-bind fails arch/powerpc/include/asm/hvcall.h | 2 +- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/papr_scm.c | 60 ++++++++++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 53 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) -- 2.21.0
