powerpc/mm: Fix memory_block_size_bytes() for non-pseries

2011-07-12T01:16:45+00:00

Just compiling pseries in the kernel causes it to override
memory_block_size_bytes() regardless of what is the runtime
platform.

This cleans up the implementation of that function, fixing
a bug or two while at it, so that it's harmless (and potentially
useful) for other platforms. Without this, bugs in that code
would trigger a WARN_ON() in drivers/base/memory.c when
booting some different platforms.

If/when we have another platform supporting memory hotplug we
might want to either move that out to a generic place or
make it a ppc_md. callback.

memory hotplug: Define memory_block_size_bytes for powerpc/pseries

2011-02-04T00:08:57+00:00

Define a version of memory_block_size_bytes() for powerpc/pseries such that
a memory block spans an entire lmb.

powerpc: Fix erroneous lmb->memblock conversions

2010-07-23T02:56:57+00:00

Oooops... we missed these. We incorrectly converted strings
used when parsing the device-tree on pseries, thus breaking
access to drconf memory and hotplug memory.

While at it, also revert some variable names that represent
something the FW calls "lmb" and thus don't need to be converted
to "memblock".

lmb: rename to memblock

2010-07-14T07:14:00+00:00

via following scripts

      FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

      sed -i \
        -e 's/lmb/memblock/g' \
        -e 's/LMB/MEMBLOCK/g' \
        $FILES

      for N in $(find . -name lmb.[ch]); do
        M=$(echo $N | sed 's/lmb/memblock/g')
        mv $N $M
      done

and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc.

also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/

powerpc/pseries: Flush lazy kernel mappings after unplug operations

2010-04-28T06:23:24+00:00

This ensures that the translations for unmapped IO mappings or
unmapped memory are properly removed from the MMU hash table
before such an unplug. Without this, the hypervisor refuses the
unplug operations due to those resources still being mapped by
the partition.

powerpc: Add missing sparsemem.h include

2009-02-10T03:39:09+00:00

arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c uses
remove_section_mapping() but doesn't include sparsemem.h which defines
it.  This can cause compilation fails for some configs.

powerpc/pseries: Validate PFN in pseries_remove_lmb()

2008-10-21T04:17:47+00:00

The pfn of the memory to be removed should be validated prior to
attempting to remove the memory.  In cases where the probe of a
memory section fails during hotplug add, the pfn for the lmb may
not be valid.

powerpc: Oops in pseries_lmb_remove()

2008-10-10T04:55:17+00:00

Testing hotplug memory remove has revealed that we can oops in
pseries_lmb_remove().  The incorrect shift causes a NULL pointer
dereference in the page_zone() inline routine.

I have only been able to reproduce the oops on kernels with large pages
enabled.

Tested on Power5 and Power6 with and without large pages enabled.

powerpc/pseries: Update the device tree correctly for drconf memory add/remove

2008-07-03T06:58:16+00:00

This updates the device tree manipulation routines so that memory
add/remove of lmbs represented under the
ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node of the device tree invokes the
hotplug notifier chain.

This change is needed because of the change in the way memory is
represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node.  All lmbs
are described in the ibm,dynamic-memory property instead of having a
separate node for each lmb as in previous device tree layouts.  This
requires the update_node() routine to check for updates to the
ibm,dynamic-memory property and invoke the hotplug notifier chain.

This also updates the pseries hotplug notifier to be able to gather information
for lmbs represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node and
have the lmbs added/removed.

powerpc/pseries: Use base address to derive starting page frame number

2008-07-03T06:58:15+00:00

Use the base address of the lmb to derive the starting page frame number
instead of trying to extract it from the drc index of the lmb.  The drc
index should not be used for this as it will, and did, break.

Until this point, systems that have had memory represented in the device
tree with a node for each lmb the drc index would (luckily) closely
track the base address of the lmb.  For example a lmb with a drc index
of 8000000a would have a base address of a0000000.  This correlation
allowed the current code to derive the starting page frame number from
the drc inddex

Device tree layouts where lmbs are represented under the
ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node in the ibm,dynamic-memory
property do not have this correlation between the drc index and base
address of the lmb.
