From 10f12e6450407b18b4d5a6b50d3852dcfd7fff75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Henrique Barboza Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2017 15:21:41 -0300 Subject: hw/ppc: CAS reset on early device hotplug This patch is a follow up on the discussions made in patch "hw/ppc: disable hotplug before CAS is completed" that can be found at [1]. At this moment, we do not support CPU/memory hotplug in early boot stages, before CAS. When a hotplug occurs, the event is logged in an internal RTAS event log queue and an IRQ pulse is fired. In regular conditions, the guest handles the interrupt by executing check_exception, fetching the generated hotplug event and enabling the device for use. In early boot, this IRQ isn't caught (SLOF does not handle hotplug events), leaving the event in the rtas event log queue. If the guest executes check_exception due to another hotplug event, the re-assertion of the IRQ ends up de-queuing the first hotplug event as well. In short, a device hotplugged before CAS is considered coldplugged by SLOF. This leads to device misbehavior and, in some cases, guest kernel Ooops when trying to unplug the device. A proper fix would be to turn every device hotplugged before CAS as a colplugged device. This is not trivial to do with the current code base though - the FDT is written in the guest memory at ppc_spapr_reset and can't be retrieved without adding extra state (fdt_size for example) that will need to managed and migrated. Adding the hotplugged DT in the middle of CAS negotiation via the updated DT tree works with CPU devs, but panics the guest kernel at boot. Additional analysis would be necessary for LMBs and PCI devices. There are questions to be made in QEMU/SLOF/kernel level about how we can make this change in a sustainable way. With Linux guests, a fix would be the kernel executing check_exception at boot time, de-queueing the events that happened in early boot and processing them. However, even if/when the newer kernels start fetching these events at boot time, we need to take care of older kernels that won't be doing that. This patch works around the situation by issuing a CAS reset if a hotplugged device is detected during CAS: - the DRC conditions that warrant a CAS reset is the same as those that triggers a DRC migration - the DRC must have a device attached and the DRC state is not equal to its ready_state. With that in mind, this patch makes use of 'spapr_drc_needed' to determine if a CAS reset is needed. - In the middle of CAS negotiations, the function 'spapr_hotplugged_dev_before_cas' goes through all the DRCs to see if there are any DRC that requires a reset, using spapr_drc_needed. If that happens, returns '1' in 'spapr_h_cas_compose_response' which will set spapr->cas_reboot to true, causing the machine to reboot. No changes are made for coldplug devices.
