[PATCH v06 3/5] migration/memory: Add hotplug READD_MULTIPLE

From: Michael Bringmann <hidden>
Date: 2018-10-15 19:57:15

migration/memory: This patch adds a new pseries hotplug action
for CPU and memory operations, PSERIES_HP_ELOG_ACTION_READD_MULTIPLE.
This is a variant of the READD operation which performs the action
upon multiple instances of the resource at one time.  The operation
is to be triggered by device-tree analysis of updates by RTAS events
analyzed by 'migation_store' during post-migration processing.  It
will be used for memory updates, initially.

---
Changes in v05:
  -- Provide dlpar_memory_readd_helper routine to compress some common code
Changes in v04:
  -- Move init of 'lmb->internal_flags' in init_drmem_v2_lmbs to
     previous patch.
  -- Pull in implementation of dlpar_memory_readd_multiple() to go
     with operation flag.

This leaves rc potentially uninitialised.

What should the result be in that case, -EINVAL ?

I will force it to be zero (0).  Failure to find anything
to update is not an error.

Thanks.

On another note if there are multiple LMBs to update the value of rc only reflects the final dlpar_memory_readd_helper() call.

Correct.  But that is what happens when we compress common code
between two disparate uses i.e. updating memory association after
a migration event with no reporting mechanism other than the console
log, vs re-adding a single LMB by index for the purposes of DLPAR / drmgr.

I could discard the return value from dlpar_memory_readd_helper entirely
in this function and just return 0, but in my experience, once errors start
to occur in memory dlpar ops, they tend to keep on occurring, so I was
returning the last one.  We could also make the code smart enough to
capture and return the first/last non-zero return code.  I didn't believe
that the frequency of errors for this operation warranted the overhead.

The actual error value is probably not very relevant.

But dropping errors entirely is almost always a bad idea.

So I think you should at least return an error if any error occurred,
that way at least an error will be returned up to the caller(s).

Something like:

	int rc;

	rc = 0;
	for_each_drmem_lmb(lmb) {
		if (drmem_lmb_update(lmb)) {
			rc |= dlpar_memory_readd_helper(lmb);
			drmem_remove_lmb_update(lmb);
		}
	}

	if (rc)
		return -EIO;
