Slab is up at this point, using the bootmem allocator triggers a
warning. Switch to using the regular cpumask allocator.

This comment likely refers to the obsolete DLPAR workflow where some
resource state transitions were driven more directly from user space
utilities, but it also seems to contradict itself: "Change isolate state to
Isolate [...]" is at odds with the preceding sentences, and it does not
relate at all to the code that follows.

Remove it to prevent confusion.

<title>powerpc/pseries/cpuhp: delete add/remove_by_count code</title>

<content type='text'>
The core DLPAR code supports two actions (add and remove) and three
subtypes of action:

* By DRC index: the action is attempted on a single specified resource.
  This is the usual case for processors.
* By indexed count: the action is attempted on a range of resources
  beginning at the specified index. This is implemented only by the memory
  DLPAR code.
* By count: the lower layer (CPU or memory) is responsible for locating the
  specified number of resources to which the action can be applied.

I cannot find any evidence of the "by count" subtype being used by drmgr or
qemu for processors. And when I try to exercise this code, the add case
does not work:

  $ ppc64_cpu --smt ; nproc
  SMT=8
  24
  $ printf "cpu remove count 2" &gt; /sys/kernel/dlpar
  $ nproc
  8
  $ printf "cpu add count 2" &gt; /sys/kernel/dlpar
  -bash: printf: write error: Invalid argument
  $ dmesg | tail -2
  pseries-hotplug-cpu: Failed to find enough CPUs (1 of 2) to add
  dlpar: Could not handle DLPAR request "cpu add count 2"
  $ nproc
  8
  $ drmgr -c cpu -a -q 2         # this uses the by-index method
  Validating CPU DLPAR capability...yes.
  CPU 1
  CPU 17
  $ nproc
  24

This is because find_drc_info_cpus_to_add() does not increment drc_index
appropriately during its search.

This is not hard to fix. But the _by_count() functions also have the
property that they attempt to roll back all prior operations if the entire
request cannot be satisfied, even though the rollback itself can encounter
errors. It's not possible to provide transaction-like behavior at this
level, and it's undesirable to have code that can only pretend to do that.
Any users of these functions cannot know what the state of the system is in
the error case. And the error paths are, to my knowledge, impossible to
test without adding custom error injection code.

Summary:

* This code has not worked reliably since its introduction.
* There is no evidence that it is used.
* It contains questionable rollback behaviors in error paths which are
  difficult to test.

So let's remove it.

<title>powerpc/pseries/cpuhp: cache node corrections</title>

<id>7edd5c9a8820bedb22870b34a809d45f2a86a35a</id>
<content type='text'>
On pseries, cache nodes in the device tree can be added and removed by the
CPU DLPAR code as well as the partition migration (mobility) code. PowerVM
partitions in dedicated processor mode typically have L2 and L3 cache
nodes.

The CPU DLPAR code has the following shortcomings:

* Cache nodes returned as siblings of a new CPU node by
  ibm,configure-connector are silently discarded; only the CPU node is
  added to the device tree.

* Cache nodes which become unreferenced in the processor removal path are
  not removed from the device tree. This can lead to duplicate nodes when
  the post-migration device tree update code replaces cache nodes.

This is long-standing behavior. Presumably it has gone mostly unnoticed
because the two bugs have the property of obscuring each other in common
simple scenarios (e.g. remove a CPU and add it back). Likely you'd notice
only if you cared to inspect the device tree or the sysfs cacheinfo
information.

Booted with two processors:

  $ pwd
  /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/cpus
  $ ls -1d */
  l2-cache@2010/
  l2-cache@2011/
  l3-cache@3110/
  l3-cache@3111/
  PowerPC,POWER9@0/
  PowerPC,POWER9@8/
  $ lsprop */l2-cache
  l2-cache@2010/l2-cache
                 00003110 (12560)
  l2-cache@2011/l2-cache
                 00003111 (12561)
  PowerPC,POWER9@0/l2-cache
                 00002010 (8208)
  PowerPC,POWER9@8/l2-cache
                 00002011 (8209)
  $ ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/
  index0  index1  index2  index3

After DLPAR-adding PowerPC,POWER9@10, we see that its associated cache
nodes are absent, its threads' L2+L3 cacheinfo is unpopulated, and it is
missing a cache level in its sched domain hierarchy:

  $ ls -1d */
  l2-cache@2010/
  l2-cache@2011/
  l3-cache@3110/
  l3-cache@3111/
  PowerPC,POWER9@0/
  PowerPC,POWER9@10/
  PowerPC,POWER9@8/
  $ lsprop PowerPC\,POWER9@10/l2-cache
  PowerPC,POWER9@10/l2-cache
                 00002012 (8210)
  $ ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu16/cache/
  index0  index1
  $ grep . /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu{0,8,16}/domain*/name
  /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu0/domain0/name:SMT
  /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu0/domain1/name:CACHE
  /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu0/domain2/name:DIE
  /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu8/domain0/name:SMT
  /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu8/domain1/name:CACHE
  /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu8/domain2/name:DIE
  /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu16/domain0/name:SMT
  /sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu16/domain1/name:DIE

When removing PowerPC,POWER9@8, we see that its cache nodes are left
behind:

  $ ls -1d */
  l2-cache@2010/
  l2-cache@2011/
  l3-cache@3110/
  l3-cache@3111/
  PowerPC,POWER9@0/

When DLPAR is combined with VM migration, we can get duplicate nodes. E.g.
removing one processor, then migrating, adding a processor, and then
migrating again can result in warnings from the OF core during
post-migration device tree updates:

  Duplicate name in cpus, renamed to "l2-cache@2011#1"
  Duplicate name in cpus, renamed to "l3-cache@3111#1"

and nodes with duplicated phandles in the tree, making lookup behavior
unpredictable:

  $ lsprop l[23]-cache@*/ibm,phandle
  l2-cache@2010/ibm,phandle
                   00002010 (8208)
  l2-cache@2011#1/ibm,phandle
                   00002011 (8209)
  l2-cache@2011/ibm,phandle
                   00002011 (8209)
  l3-cache@3110/ibm,phandle
                   00003110 (12560)
  l3-cache@3111#1/ibm,phandle
                   00003111 (12561)
  l3-cache@3111/ibm,phandle
                   00003111 (12561)

Address these issues by:

* Correctly processing siblings of the node returned from
  dlpar_configure_connector().
* Removing cache nodes in the CPU remove path when it can be determined
  that they are not associated with other CPUs or caches.

Use the of_changeset API in both cases, which allows us to keep the error
handling in this code from becoming more complex while ensuring that the
device tree cannot become inconsistent.

As reported by lkp, if NUMA=n we see a build error:

   arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-cpu.c: In function 'pseries_cpu_hotplug_init':
   arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-cpu.c:1022:8: error: 'node_to_cpumask_map' undeclared
    1022 |        node_to_cpumask_map[node]);

Use cpumask_of_node() which has an empty stub for NUMA=n, and when
NUMA=y does a lookup from node_to_cpumask_map[].

The associativity details of the newly added resourced are collected from
the hypervisor via "ibm,configure-connector" rtas call. Update the numa
distance details of the newly added numa node after the above call.

Instead of updating NUMA distance every time we lookup a node id
from the associativity property, add helpers that can be used
during boot which does this only once. Also remove the distance
update from node id lookup helpers.

Currently, we duplicate parsing code for ibm,associativity and
ibm,associativity-lookup-arrays in the kernel. The associativity array provided
by these device tree properties are very similar and hence can use
a helper to parse the node id and numa distance details.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Prevent free CPU ids being reused on another node</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=bd1dd4c5f5286df0148b5b316f37c583b8f55fa1'/>
<id>bd1dd4c5f5286df0148b5b316f37c583b8f55fa1</id>
<content type='text'>
When a CPU is hot added, the CPU ids are taken from the available mask
from the lower possible set. If that set of values was previously used
for a CPU attached to a different node, it appears to an application as
if these CPUs have migrated from one node to another node which is not
expected.

To prevent this, it is needed to record the CPU ids used for each node
and to not reuse them on another node. However, to prevent CPU hot plug
to fail, in the case the CPU ids is starved on a node, the capability to
reuse other nodes’ free CPU ids is kept. A warning is displayed in such
a case to warn the user.

A new CPU bit mask (node_recorded_ids_map) is introduced for each
possible node. It is populated with the CPU onlined at boot time, and
then when a CPU is hot plugged to a node. The bits in that mask remain
when the CPU is hot unplugged, to remind this CPU ids have been used for
this node.

If no id set was found, a retry is made without removing the ids used on
the other nodes to try reusing them. This is the way ids have been
allocated prior to this patch.

The effect of this patch can be seen by removing and adding CPUs using
the Qemu monitor. In the following case, the first CPU from the node 2
is removed, then the first one from the node 1 is removed too. Later,
the first CPU of the node 2 is added back. Without that patch, the
kernel will number these CPUs using the first CPU ids available which
are the ones freed when removing the second CPU of the node 0. This
leads to the CPU ids 16-23 to move from the node 1 to the node 2. With
the patch applied, the CPU ids 32-39 are used since they are the lowest
free ones which have not been used on another node.

At boot time:
  [root@vm40 ~]# numactl -H | grep cpus
  node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
  node 1 cpus: 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
  node 2 cpus: 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47

Vanilla kernel, after the CPU hot unplug/plug operations:
  [root@vm40 ~]# numactl -H | grep cpus
  node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
  node 1 cpus: 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
  node 2 cpus: 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47

Patched kernel, after the CPU hot unplug/plug operations:
  [root@vm40 ~]# numactl -H | grep cpus
  node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
  node 1 cpus: 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

<title>powerpc/pseries: Set UNISOLATE on dlpar_cpu_remove() failure</title>

<content type='text'>
The RTAS set-indicator call, when attempting to UNISOLATE a DRC that is
already UNISOLATED or CONFIGURED, returns RTAS_OK and does nothing else
for both QEMU and phyp. This gives us an opportunity to use this
behavior to signal the hypervisor layer when an error during device
removal happens, allowing it to do a proper error handling, while not
breaking QEMU/phyp implementations that don't have this support.

This patch introduces this idea by unisolating all CPU DRCs that failed
to be removed by dlpar_cpu_remove_by_index(), when handling the
PSERIES_HP_ELOG_ID_DRC_INDEX event. This is being done for this event
only because its the only CPU removal event QEMU uses, and there's no
need at this moment to add this mechanism for phyp only code.

<content type='text'>
One of the reasons that dlpar_cpu_offline can fail is when attempting to
offline the last online CPU of the kernel. This can be observed in a
pseries QEMU guest that has hotplugged CPUs. If the user offlines all
other CPUs of the guest, and a hotplugged CPU is now the last online
CPU, trying to reclaim it will fail.

The current error message in this situation returns rc with -EBUSY and a
generic explanation, e.g.:

  pseries-hotplug-cpu: Failed to offline CPU PowerPC,POWER9, rc: -16

EBUSY can be caused by other conditions, such as cpu_hotplug_disable
being true. Throwing a more specific error message for this case,
instead of just "Failed to offline CPU", makes it clearer that the error
is in fact a known error situation instead of other generic/unknown
cause.

This patch adds a 'last online' check in dlpar_cpu_offline() to catch
the 'last online CPU' offline error, eturning a more informative error
message:

  pseries-hotplug-cpu: Unable to remove last online CPU PowerPC,POWER9
