From: Jesse Larrew <redacted> When rtasd receives a PRRN event, it needs to make a series of RTAS calls (ibm,update-nodes and ibm,update-properties) to retrieve the updated device tree information. These calls are already handled in the pseries_devtree_update() routine used in partition migration. This patch simply exposes pseries_devicetree_update() so it can be called by rtasd. pseries_devicetree_update() and supporting functions are also modified to take a 32-bit 'scope' parameter. This parameter is required by the ibm,update-nodes/ibm,update-properties RTAS calls, and the appropriate value is contained within the RTAS event for PRRN notifications. In pseries_devicetree_update() it was previously hard-coded to 1, the scope value for partition migration. Signed-off-by: Nathan Fontenot <redacted>
Patch looks fine, so: Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <redacted> However, you could usefully put some of the description from your 0/11 email into this patch description, since the 0/11 email doesn't get preserved in git. Paul.
