[PATCH v3 0/3] powerpc/eeh: Release EEH device state synchronously

[Sam Bobroff]

Hi everyone,

Here are some fixes and cleanups that have come from other work but that I
think stand on their own.

Only one patch ("Release EEH device state synchronously", suggested by Oliver
O'Halloran) is a significant change: it moves the cleanup of some EEH device
data out of the (possibly asynchronous) device release handler and into the
(synchronously called) bus notifier. This is useful for future work as it makes
it easier to reason about the lifetimes of EEH structures.

Note that I've left a few WARN_ON_ONCEs in the code because I'm paranoid, but I
have not been able to hit them during testing.

Cheers,
Sam.

Notes for v3:
I've tweaked the fix for pseries_eeh_configure_bridge() to return the correct
error code (even though it's not used) by calling an already present RTAS
function, rtas_error_rc(). However, I had to make another change to export that
function and while it does seem like the right thing to do, but I'm concerned
it's a bit out of scope for such a small fix.

Notes for v2:

I've dropped both cleanup patches (3/4, 4/4) because that type of cleanup
(replacing a call to eeh_rmv_from_parent_pe() with one to eeh_remove_device())
is incorrect: if called during recovery, it will cause edev->pe to remain set
when it would have been cleared previously. This would lead to stale
information in the edev. I think there should be a way to simplify the code
around EEH_PE_KEEP but I'll look at that separately.
