[PATCH] ppc64: bugfix: crash on PCI hotplug
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
09-hotplug-bugfix.patch

In the current 2.6.14-rc2-git6 kernel, performing a Dynamic LPAR Add
of a hotplug slot will crash the system, with the following (abbreviated)
stack trace:

cpu 0x3: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c000000053dff7f0]
    pc: c0000000004f5974: .__alloc_bootmem+0x0/0xb0
    lr: c0000000000258a0: .update_dn_pci_info+0x108/0x118
        c0000000000257c8 .update_dn_pci_info+0x30/0x118 (unreliable)
        c0000000000258fc .pci_dn_reconfig_notifier+0x4c/0x64
        c000000000060754 .notifier_call_chain+0x68/0x9c

The root cause was that __init __alloc_bootmem() was called long after
boot had finished, resulting in a crash because this routine is undefined
after boot time.  The patch below fixes this crash, and adds some docs to
clarify the code.
