From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Date: Sat, 2 Jun 2018 21:08:51 +1000 Subject: powerpc/rfi-flush: Always enable fallback flush on pseries To: gregkh@linuxfoundation.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org, linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org Message-ID: [ref] From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> commit 84749a58b6e382f109abf1e734bc4dd43c2c25bb upstream. This ensures the fallback flush area is always allocated on pseries, so in case a LPAR is migrated from a patched to an unpatched system, it is possible to enable the fallback flush in the target system.
