Series PowerPC: in kernel handling of CPU hotplug events for crash kernel | expand

Commit Message

A new member "fdt_index" is added to the kimage_arch struct to hold
the index of the FDT (Flattened Device Tree) segment from the kexec
the segment array.

fdt_index will provide direct access to the FDT segment in the kexec
segment array after the kdump kernel is loaded.

The new attribute will be used in the arch crash hotplug handler
(added in upcoming patches) on every CPU and memory hotplug event.

The fdt_index is populated for both kexec_load and kexec_file_load
case.

Minor comment, when CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG is not set the function is simply
returning 0, why not defining it has an inline in that case?

Why is that not done in the series introducing the generic
crash hotplug update, in do_kimage_alloc_init() ?
This way there is a guarantee that the field will not be used while set by
default to 0.

We can, but if the initialization of fdt_index is taken care during the 
allocation
of kimage struct, I will move the fdt_index discovery logic to arch crash
hotplug handler. More on fdt_index initialization in the next comment.

do_kimage_alloc_init is a generic function where as fdt_index is a ppc 
specific
attribute. If fdt_index is initialized in do_kimage_alloc_init then 
other architectures
will have build issues.

I agree that until the kernel hits the machine_kexec_post_load function 
on the
kdump kernel load path there is no way to identify the fdt_index is holding
a valid index or not.

Since there is no consumer of kimage's fdt_index attribute from the 
point of its
allocation to until it is initialized, we don't have any impact of 
fdt_index holding
value 0 (which is not valid) for sometime.

But still we can do few things to allow fdt_index attribute consumers to 
check
the sanity of fdt_index.

1. Introduce arch specific function call to initialize kimage_arch 
struct (basically fdt_index for now).
and call it inside do_kimage_alloc_init and initialize the fdt_index 
with -1 there.

2. Add another attribute in kimage_arch struct to indicate the sanity of the
fdt_index attribute. For example fdt_index_valid, if this holds zero then
the fdt_index holds invalid index. (looks inefficient to me)

Not sure is it worth doing but please let me know your opinion.

Thanks,
Sourabh Jain
