powerpc/pseries/cpuhp: cache node corrections
On pseries, cache nodes in the device tree can be added and removed by the
CPU DLPAR code as well as the partition migration (mobility) code. PowerVM
partitions in dedicated processor mode typically have L2 and L3 cache
nodes.
The CPU DLPAR code has the following shortcomings:
* Cache nodes returned as siblings of a new CPU node by
ibm,configure-connector are silently discarded; only the CPU node is
added to the device tree.
* Cache nodes which become unreferenced in the processor removal path are
not removed from the device tree. This can lead to duplicate nodes when
the post-migration device tree update code replaces cache nodes.
This is long-standing behavior. Presumably it has gone mostly unnoticed
because the two bugs have the property of obscuring each other in common
simple scenarios (e.g. remove a CPU and add it back). Likely you'd notice
only if you cared to inspect the device tree or the sysfs cacheinfo
information.
Booted with two processors:
$ pwd

$ ls -1d */

l2-cache@2011/
l3-cache@3110/

After DLPAR-adding PowerPC,POWER9@10, we see that its associated cache
nodes are absent, its threads' L2+L3 cacheinfo is unpopulated, and it is
missing a cache level in its sched domain hierarchy:
$ ls -1d */

/sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu16/domain0/name:SMT
/sys/kernel/debug/sched/domains/cpu16/domain1/name:DIE
When removing PowerPC,POWER9@8, we see that its cache nodes are left
behind:
$ ls -1d */
l2-cache@2010/
l2-cache@2011/
l3-cache@3110/
l3-cache@3111/
PowerPC,POWER9@0/
When DLPAR is combined with VM migration, we can get duplicate nodes. E.g.
removing one processor, then migrating, adding a processor, and then
migrating again can result in warnings from the OF core during
post-migration device tree updates:
Duplicate name in cpus, renamed to "l2-cache@2011#1"
Duplicate name in cpus, renamed to "l3-cache@3111#1"
and nodes with duplicated phandles in the tree, making lookup behavior
unpredictable:
$ lsprop l[23]-cache@*/ibm,phandle
l2-cache@2010/ibm,phandle
00002010 (8208)
l2-cache@2011#1/ibm,phandle
00002011 (8209)
l2-cache@2011/ibm,phandle
00002011 (8209)
l3-cache@3110/ibm,phandle
00003110 (12560)
l3-cache@3111#1/ibm,phandle
00003111 (12561)
l3-cache@3111/ibm,phandle
00003111 (12561)
Address these issues by:
* Correctly processing siblings of the node returned from
dlpar_configure_connector().
* Removing cache nodes in the CPU remove path when it can be determined
that they are not associated with other CPUs or caches.
Use the of_changeset API in both cases, which allows us to keep the error
handling in this code from becoming more complex while ensuring that the
device tree cannot become inconsistent.
