<id>73b25505ce043b561028e5571d84dc82aa53c2b4</id>
<content type='text'>
The VAS open window call prints error message and returns -EBUSY
after the migration suspend event initiated and until the resume
event completed on the destination system. It can cause the log
buffer filled with these error messages if the user space issues
continuous open window calls.  Similar case even for DLPAR CPU
remove event when no credits are available until the credits are
freed or with the other DLPAR CPU add event.

So changes in the patch to use pr_err_ratelimited() instead of
pr_err() to display open window failure and not-available credits
error messages.

Use pr_fmt() and make the corresponding changes to have the
consistencein prefix all pr_*() messages (vas-api.c).

The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it
shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did
something.  So just remove it and fix up all callers of the function in
the kernel tree at the same time.

<title>mm: remove zap_page_range and create zap_vma_pages</title>

<id>e9adcfecf572fcfaa9f8525904cf49c709974f73</id>
<content type='text'>
zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address
range that could span multiple vmas.  While working on [1], it was
discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within
a single vma.  In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page
range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas.  When
crossing a vma boundary, a new mmu_notifier_range_init/end call pair with
the new vma should be made.

Instead of fixing zap_page_range, do the following:
- Create a new routine zap_vma_pages() that will remove all pages within
  the passed vma.  Most users of zap_page_range pass the entire vma and
  can use this new routine.
- For callers of zap_page_range not passing the entire vma, instead call
  zap_page_range_single().
- Remove zap_page_range.

<title>powerpc/vas: Map paste address only if window is active</title>

<id>6a8d4ca891aa5f9402973eab5d7d9cf3929678b7</id>
<content type='text'>
The paste address mapping is done with mmap() after the window is
opened with ioctl. The partition has to close VAS windows in the
hypervisor if it lost credits due to DLPAR core removal. But the
kernel marks these windows inactive until the previously lost
credits are available later. If the window is inactive due to
DLPAR after this mmap(), the paste instruction returns failure
until the the OS reopens this window again.

Before the user space issuing mmap(), there is a possibility of
happening DLPAR core removal event which causes the corresponding
window inactive. So if the window is not active, return mmap()
failure with -EACCES and expects the user space reissue mmap()
when the window is active or open a new window when the credit
is available.

The paste address mapping is done with mmap() after the window is
opened with ioctl. The partition has to close VAS windows in the
hypervisor if it lost credits due to DLPAR core removal. But the
kernel marks these windows inactive until the previously lost
credits are available later. If the window is inactive due to
DLPAR after this mmap(), the paste instruction returns failure
until the the OS reopens this window again.

Before the user space issuing mmap(), there is a possibility of
happening DLPAR core removal event which causes the corresponding
window inactive. So if the window is not active, return mmap()
failure with -EACCES and expects the user space reissue mmap()
when the window is active or open a new window when the credit
is available.

The VAS window may not be active if the system looses credits and
the NX generates page fault when it receives request on unmap
paste address.

The kernel handles the fault by remap new paste address if the
window is active again, Otherwise return the paste instruction
failure if the executed instruction that caused the fault was
a paste.

<title>powerpc/vas: Add paste address mmap fault handler</title>

The user space opens VAS windows and issues NX requests by pasting
CRB on the corresponding paste address mmap. When the system lost
credits due to core removal, the kernel has to close the window in
the hypervisor and make the window inactive by unmapping this paste
address. Also the OS has to handle NX request page faults if the user
space issue NX requests.

This handler maps the new paste address with the same VMA when the
window is active again (due to core add with DLPAR). Otherwise
returns paste failure.
