From 12633e803a2a556f6469e0933d08233d0844a2d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Fontenot Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:23:25 +0000 Subject: sysfs/cpu: Add probe/release files Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to Documentation/ABI. There are no changes to any of the C code from v2 of the patch. In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system. This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate cpu probe/release. The probe/release interface provides for allowing each arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding and removing cpus to/from the system. This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts from writes to the sysfs files. The creation and use of these files is regulated by the CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the capability will have the files created.

This is achieved by writing to the sysfs tunables "probe" during allocation and "release" during deallocation. At the sametime, the userspace can independently online/offline the CPUs of the system using the sysfs tunable "online". It is quite possible that when a userspace tool offlines a CPU for the purpose of deallocation and is in the process of updating the device tree, some other userspace tool could bring the CPU back online by writing to the "online" sysfs tunable thereby causing the deallocate process to fail. The solution to this is to serialize writes to the "probe/release" sysfs tunable with the writes to the "online" sysfs tunable. This patch employs a mutex to provide this serialization, which is a no-op on all architectures except PPC_PSERIES Signed-off-by: Gautham R Shenoy Acked-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt --- drivers/base/cpu.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'drivers/base') diff --git a/drivers/base/cpu.c b/drivers/base/cpu.c index 7c03af7..27fd775 100644 --- a/drivers/base/cpu.c +++ b/drivers/base/cpu.c @@ -35,6 +35,7 @@ static ssize_t __ref store_online(struct sys_device *dev, struct sysdev_attribut struct cpu *cpu = container_of(dev, struct cpu, sysdev); ssize_t ret; + cpu_hotplug_driver_lock(); switch (buf[0]) { case '0': ret = cpu_down(cpu->sysdev.id); @@ -49,6 +50,7 @@ static ssize_t __ref store_online(struct sys_device *dev, struct sysdev_attribut default: ret = -EINVAL; } + cpu_hotplug_driver_unlock(); if (ret >= 0) ret = count; -- cgit v1.1
