In case of in-kernel memory hot unplug, when the guest is not able to remove all the LMBs that are requested for removal, it will add back any LMBs that have been successfully removed. The DR Connectors of these LMBs wouldn't have been unconfigured and hence the addition of these LMBs will result in configure-connector call being issued on LMB DR connectors that are already in configured state. Such configure-connector calls will fail resulting in a DIMM which is partially unplugged.
This however worked till recently before we overhauled the DRC implementation in QEMU. Commit 9d4c0f4f0a71e: "spapr: Consolidate DRC state variables" is the first commit where this problem shows up as per git bisect. Ideally guest shouldn't be issuing configure-connector call on an already configured DR connector. However for now, work around this in QEMU by allowing configure-connector to be called multiple times for all types of DR connectors. Signed-off-by: Bharata B Rao <bhar...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> --- v0: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-08/msg02942.html Changes in v1: - Allow configure-connector to be called multiple times for all types of DR connectors and not just LMB DRCs. (David Gibson) - Explicitly allow configure-connector to proceed only if the DRC is either in unisolated or in configured state.
