[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.11 v2] hw/ppc: CAS reset on early device hotplug
Posted by Daniel Henrique Barboza 6 years, 7 months ago
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.

Until we go all the way with the proper fix, 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.

- a small fix was made in 'spapr_drc_needed' to change how we detect
a DRC device. Using dr_entity_sense worked for physical DRCs but,
for logical DRCs, it didn't cover the case where a logical DRC has
a drc->dev but the state is LOGICAL_UNUSABLE (e.g. a hotplugged CPU before
CAS). In this case, the dr_entity_sense of this DRC returns UNUSABLE and
spapr_drc_needed was return 'false' for a scenario what we would like
to migrate the DRC (or issue a CAS reset). Changing it to check for
drc->dev instead works for all DRC types.

- a new function called 'spapr_clear_pending_events' was created
and is being called inside ppc_spapr_reset. This function clears
the pending_events QTAILQ that holds the RTAS event logs. This prevents
old/deprecated events from persisting after a reset.

No changes are made for coldplug devices.

Sorry I've taken a while to review.

Ah.. unfortunately this isn't right.  You need to free each of the
events removed, as well as removing them from the list.  Since that
will require a respin anyway, can you make the following more minor
changes:
  * Move this helper function to spapr_events.c
  * Make this a preliminary patch - we should be clearing the queue at
    system reset even without the complicating case of eearly hotplug

Nice.  I'm not sure why on earth I did that weird indirect via
entity_sense in the first place.  Just using drc->dev is a much better
idea.
