[PATCH 5/5] kernel handling of CPU DLPAR

Nathan Fontenot nfont at austin.ibm.com
Sat Sep 12 07:15:33 EST 2009


This adds the capability to DLPAR add and remove CPUs from the kernel. The
creates two new files /sys/devices/system/cpu/probe and 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/release to handle the DLPAR addition and removal of
CPUs respectively.

CPU DLPAR add is accomplished by writing the drc-index of the CPU to the
probe file, and removal is done by writing the device-tree path of the cpu
to the release file.
