With the powrpc next commit e7e81847478 (poewrpc/mce: Fix SLB rebolting
during MCE recovery path.), the SLB error recovery is broken. The
commit missed a crucial change of OR-ing index value to RB[52-63] which
selects the SLB entry while rebolting. This patch fixes that.

I'm just looking at this again. The bolted save areas do have the
index field set. So for the OS, your patch should be equivalent to
this, right?

 static inline void slb_shadow_clear(enum slb_index index)
 {
-       WRITE_ONCE(get_slb_shadow()->save_area[index].esid, 0);
+       WRITE_ONCE(get_slb_shadow()->save_area[index].esid, index);
 }

Which seems like a better fix.

Yeah this also fixes the issue. The only additional change required is
cpu_to_be64(index). As long as we maintain index in bolted save areas
(for valid/invalid entries) we should be ok. Will respin v2 with this
change.
