[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 00/11] spapr: option vector re-work and memory unplug support |

This series is based on David's ppc-for-2.8 branch, and is also available from:
https://github.com/mdroth/qemu/commits/spapr-hotplug-event-update
Patches 1-4 address various deficiencies in how we currently handle option
vectors via ibm,client-architecture-support. This is done here in preparation
for a new option vector bit introduced later in this series, as well as a
number of future option vector bits related to other features, but I can
break this out into a separate series if preferred.
Patches 5-8 add support for an updated event format for hotplug events,
which includes a new way to specify a range of DRCs/LMBs to hotplug/unplug
using a starting position and count, which is necessary for memory unplug.
The format for this new event format is still in draft form, but slated
for inclusion in the PAPR/LoPAPR.
Patches 9-11 add support for memory unplug using the new event format.
In addition to kernel 4.8 or later, there are a number of patches required
to enable support on the guest kernel side. I've including the minimum set
of patches in my branch here:
https://github.com/mdroth/linux/commits/spapr-hotplug-event-update
*powerpc/pseries: advertise Hot Plug Event support to firmware
powerpc/pseries: Implement indexed-count hotplug memory remove
powerpc/pseries: Implement indexed-count hotplug memory add
Note that there is currently an issue that arises when attempting to
offline an LMB that was onlined using a guest kernel's auto-onlining
mechanism, which can prevent full completion of memory unplug requests.
This is being investigated, but for the purposes of testing this can
be worked around currently by disabling auto-onlining in guests via:
"echo offline >/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks"
and instead onlining the blocks manually or via udev.
