[PATCH v3] powerpc/powernv: Add queue mechanism for early messages

Deb McLemore debmc at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Mon May 21 12:04:38 AEST 2018


Problem being solved is when issuing a BMC soft poweroff during IPL,
the poweroff was being lost so the machine would not poweroff.

Opal messages were being received before the opal-power code
registered its notifiers.

Alternatives discussed (option #3 was chosen):

1 - Have opal_message_init() explicitly call opal_power_control_init()
before it dequeues any OPAL messages (i.e. before we register the
opal-msg IRQ handler).

2 - Introduce concept of critical message types and when we register
handlers we track which message types have a registered handler,
then defer the opal-msg IRQ registration until we have a handler
registered for all the critical types.

3 - Buffering messages, if we receive a message and do not yet
have a handler for that type, store the message and replay when
a handler for that type is registered.
