[PATCH 4/5] kernel handling of memory DLPAR

Nathan Fontenot nfont at austin.ibm.com
Sat Sep 12 07:14:35 EST 2009


This adds the capability to DLPAR add and remove memory from the kernel.  The
patch extends the powerpc handling of memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(), which is
called from the sysfs memory 'probe' file to first ensure that the memory
has been added to the system.  This is done by creating a platform specific
callout from the routine.  The pseries implementation of this handles the
DLPAR work to add the memory to the system and update the device tree.

The patch also creates a pseries only 'release' sys file, 
/sys/devices/system/memory/release.  This file handles the DLPAR release of
memory back to firmware and updating of the device-tree.
