Revision f32393c943e297b8ae180c8f83d81a156c7d0412 authored by Nathan Fontenot on 30 April 2015, 01:42:06 UTC, committed by Michael Ellerman on 01 May 2015, 03:47:24 UTC
The incorrect ordering of operations during cpu dlpar add results in invalid affinity for the cpu being added. The ibm,associativity property in the device tree is populated with all zeroes for the added cpu which results in invalid affinity mappings and all cpus appear to belong to node 0. This occurs because rtas configure-connector is called prior to making the rtas set-indicator calls. Phyp does not assign affinity information for a cpu until the rtas set-indicator calls are made to set the isolation and allocation state. Correct the order of operations to make the rtas set-indicator calls (done in dlpar_acquire_drc) before calling rtas configure-connector.

The Common Mailbox Framework
Jassi Brar <jaswinder.singh@linaro.org>
This document aims to help developers write client and controller
drivers for the API. But before we start, let us note that the
client (especially) and controller drivers are likely going to be
very platform specific because the remote firmware is likely to be
proprietary and implement non-standard protocol. So even if two
platforms employ, say, PL320 controller, the client drivers can't
be shared across them. Even the PL320 driver might need to accommodate
some platform specific quirks. So the API is meant mainly to avoid
similar copies of code written for each platform. Having said that,
nothing prevents the remote f/w to also be Linux based and use the
same api there. However none of that helps us locally because we only
ever deal at client's protocol level.
Some of the choices made during implementation are the result of this
peculiarity of this "common" framework.
Part 1 - Controller Driver (See include/linux/mailbox_controller.h)
Allocate mbox_controller and the array of mbox_chan.
Populate mbox_chan_ops, except peek_data() all are mandatory.
The controller driver might know a message has been consumed
by the remote by getting an IRQ or polling some hardware flag
or it can never know (the client knows by way of the protocol).
The method in order of preference is IRQ -> Poll -> None, which
the controller driver should set via 'txdone_irq' or 'txdone_poll'
or neither.
Part 2 - Client Driver (See include/linux/mailbox_client.h)
The client might want to operate in blocking mode (synchronously
send a message through before returning) or non-blocking/async mode (submit
a message and a callback function to the API and return immediately).
