Right, I fixed that up locally already, but haven't gotten around to
reposting yet.  You can look at the 'drcVI' branch on my github tree,
if you're interested.

The trivial migration test worked fine. The libvirt scenario (attaching a
device on
target before migration, try to unplug after migration) isn't working as
expected
but we have a different result with this series. Instead of silently failing
to unplug
with error messages on dmesg, the hot unplug works on QEMU level:
Thanks for testing.  Just to clarify what you're saying here, you
haven't spotted a regression with this series, but there is a case
which was broken and is still broken with slightly different
symptoms.  Yes?
In my opinion, yes. It is debatable if the patch series made it worse because
the guest is now misbehaving, but the feature per se wasn't working
prior to it.

However, any operation on the guest afterwards (tried with lscpu and dmesg)
seems
to hung the guest. This is what I got when trying to do a dmesg after the
hot unplug:
Ouch.  That's bad.  I'll have to look into it.

I have rather a lot on my plate at the moment - if you get a chance to
work out which of the patches in the series causes this behaviour,
that could be handy.

***long post warning***

With the current master and current HEAD of ppc-for-2.10, the behavior in
the Libvirt scenario (device_add in both source and target before migration,
hot unplug after migration is completed) is that QEMU fails to hot unplug the CPU from the guest OS. lscpu reports the same # of cpus even after device_del,
dmesg shows an error like this:

[ 108.182291] pseries-hotplug-cpu: CPU with drc index 10000008 already exists


WIth this patch series, QEMU removes the CPU but the guest misbehaves like I said
in my previous message.

With the current HEAD of drcVI branch, I rolled back until I found the patch that was
causing this new symptom. The patch is the very first of the series:

b752844 spapr: Remove 'awaiting_allocation' DRC flag

In short, adding this single patch into the HEAD of ppc-for-2.10 is causing this new behavior I saw in my tests. This is the retrieved kernel log after the failed unplug:

Digging around in the kernel code reported in the trace and reading the commit message of the patch that is causing it, my first guess is that there is some confusion left
in the DRC state management that, at this moment, is being fixed by the
'awaiting_allocation' flag. One potentially relevant use of this flag that was removed was this
piece of code:

(inside spapr_drc_detach)

-    if (drc->awaiting_allocation) {
-        drc->awaiting_release = true;
-        trace_spapr_drc_awaiting_allocation(spapr_drc_index(drc));
-        return;
-    }


Speculating a little, perhaps the guest is trying to release a DRC that isn't ready to be released yet (inconsistent state probably) and this code was preventing it from doing so. I'll
know more when I dig further.

I am not sure if it was intended for this scenario to work with this patch
set already. Figured
it can serve as a FYI for the next series.
This might be due to a problem I've discussed previously with
Laurent.  libvirt uses device_add on the destination's monitor before
sending the migration stream, rather than starting the destination
with already-hotplugged devices as -device.

To my surprise, there doesn't seem to be a system reset between that
device_add phase and processing the incoming stream, which means DRCs
for those devices might be in the wrong state.

I might need to explicitly trigger a reset of DRC state at incoming
migration time to handle this.

Worth a try. I'll see if I can make a POC of this DRC reset at incoming
migration time.

Given that hotplug/unplug without migration still works and on the
assumption that
we'll look more into this libvirt scenario in the next spins, +1.

Most of the patches in this set "break" migration from earlier git

migration stream format had multiple problems, so better to fix them
now, before 2.10 is out.
