The Dynamic Logical Partitioning (DLPAR) capabilities of the powerpc pseries
platform allows for the addition and removal of resources (i.e. cpus,
memory, pci devices) from a partition. The removal of a resource involves
removing the resource's node from the device tree and then returning the
resource to firmware via the rtas set-indicator call. To add a resource, it
is first obtained from firmware via the rtas set-indicator call and then a
new device tree node is created using the ibm,configure-coinnector rtas call
and added to the device tree.
The following set of patches implements the needed infrastructure to have the
kernel handle the DLPAR addition and removal of cpus (other DLPAR'able items
to follow in future patches). The framework for this is to create a set of
probe/release sysfs files that will facilitate arch-specific call-outs to
handle addition and removal of cpus to the system.

This patch provides the kernel DLPAR infrastructure in a new filed named
dlpar.c. The functionality provided is for acquiring and releasing a resource
from firmware and the parsing of information returned from the
ibm,configure-connector rtas call. Additionally this exports the pSeries
reconfiguration notifier chain so that it can be invoked when device tree
updates are made.

Create new probe and release sysfs files to facilitate adding and removing
cpus from the system. This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle
the arch callouts from writes to the sysfs files.
The creation and use of these files is regulated by the
CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the
capability will have the files created.

Register the pseries specific handlers for the powerpc architecture handlers
for the cpu probe and release files. This also implements the cpu DLPAR
addition and removal of CPUS from the system.

Nice explanation, but the 0/3 of the series doesn't go into git.
Could you rework some/all of this into the commit message for patch
1/3 so it gets stored permanently with these patches in git?
Thanks,

This looks a bit fragile if path could possibly not contain any '/' or
if the '/' is more than 128 characters from the start of path. Please
fix this to check if strrchr returns NULL and to cope in some
reasonable fashion if the path happens to be very long.

Also assumes that dn->full_name contains a '/'. If for some reason it
couldn't possibly not contain a '/', put in a comment explaining that.
Thanks,
Paul.

Since this touches drivers/base/cpu.c, you should cc Greg KH on this
patch and get an ack from him, assuming these patches are going in
through the powerpc tree.

Since these are just declarations, they don't need the #ifdef around
them.

I would have expected dn->full_name to start with a '/' already, in
which case this will end up with two consecutive slashes after
'cpus'. I think that will probably cause problems.
