Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2017 13:28:11 -0500 From: Michael Bringmann <mwb@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> To: linuxppc-dev@...ts.ozlabs.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Michael Bringmann <mwb@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>, Nathan Fontenot <nfont@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>, Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au>, John Allen <jallen@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> Subject: [PATCH 0/2] powerpc/nodes/hotplug: Fix problem with memoryless nodes powerpc/nodes: Ensure enough nodes avail for operations. On systems like PowerPC which allow 'hot-add' of CPU or memory resources, it may occur that the new resources are to be inserted into nodes that were not used for these resources at bootup. In the kernel, any node that is used must be defined and initialized at boot. This patch extracts the value of the lowest domain level (number of allocable resources) from the "rtas" device tree property "ibm,current-associativity-domains" or the device tree property "ibm,max-associativity-domains" to use as the maximum number of nodes to setup as possibly available in the system. powerpc/hotplug: Fix CPU-only node bringup bug On systems like PowerPC which allow 'hot-add' of CPU, it may occur that the new resources are to be inserted into nodes that were not used for memory resources at bootup. Many different configurations of PowerPC resources may need to be supported depending upon the environment. This patch fixes some problems encountered at runtime with configurations that support memory-less nodes, but which allow CPUs to be added at and after boot.
