Vasilis hit the bug at memory hotplug and reported it as follow:

So acpi_bus_trim() should check whether device was removed or not correctly.
The patch adds error check into some functions to remove the device.

Applying the patch, acpi_bus_trim() stops removing devices when failing
to remove the device. But I think there is no impact with the
exceptionof CPU and Memory hotplug path. Because other device also fails
but the fail is an irregular case like device is NULL.

Greg, do you think there may be any problems with the changes in dd.c?


Yes, I don't like it.

remove should always work, just like the exit call in a module.  It
means that the core wants to remove the driver, so it is going to
happen, a driver can't refuse it.

Which brings me to the larger question, why would this solve anything?


Now we are developing physical memory hot plug.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/23/213

So if we aplly the patch-set, we can hot remove a physical memory
by the following way.

"echo 1 > /sys/bus/acpi/devices/PNP/eject"

In this case, acpi_bus_hot_remove_device() tries to remove memory
device by acpi_bus_trim(). But if the memory has irremovable memory,
memory hot remove fails. And the memory remains in kernel.
However acpi_bus_trim() cannot notice that memory hot remove fails and
retruns 0. So acpi_bus_hot_remove_device() continues to remove memory
devices and sends _EJ0 method to firmware. Thus the memory device cannot
be used. But the memory remains in kernel yet. So if someone access the
memory, kernel panic occurs.


Why can't you check to find out if you can do the remove operation
before you enter the driver core asking to actually remove the devices?
That would allow you to "know" if you can do this before having to go
through the whole operation.  What happens if you can complete half of
the removal, and do that, but not the whole thing?  Don't you end up
with half of the memory chunk gone from the system now?




In other words, please solve this at a higher level than the driver
core if at all possible.


O.K.
I'll check whether the problem is sloved at a higher level or not.

Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu

[PATCH v2] acpi : acpi_bus_trim() stops removing devices when failing to remove the device

2012-10-11 Thread Yasuaki Ishimatsu
acpi_bus_trim() stops removing devices, when acpi_bus_remove() return error
number. But acpi_bus_remove() cannot return error number correctly.
acpi_bus_remove() only return -EINVAL, when dev argument is NULL. Thus even if
device cannot be removed correctly, acpi_bus_trim() ignores and continues to
remove devices. acpi_bus_hot_remove_device() uses acpi_bus_trim() for removing
devices. Therefore acpi_bus_hot_remove_device() can send "_EJ0" to firmware,
even if the device is running on the system. In this case, the system cannot
work well.

Vasilis hit the bug at memory hotplug and reported it as follow:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/26/318

So acpi_bus_trim() should check whether device was removed or not correctly.
The patch adds error check into some functions to remove the device.

Applying the patch, acpi_bus_trim() stops removing devices when failing
to remove the device. But I think there is no impact with the
exceptionof CPU and Memory hotplug path. Because other device also fails
but the fail is an irregular case like device is NULL.

v1->v2
- add a rollback for reinstalling a notify handler.

[PATCH v2] acpi : acpi_bus_trim() stops removing devices when failing to remove the device

2012-10-11 Thread Yasuaki Ishimatsu
acpi_bus_trim() stops removing devices, when acpi_bus_remove() return error
number. But acpi_bus_remove() cannot return error number correctly.
acpi_bus_remove() only return -EINVAL, when dev argument is NULL. Thus even if
device cannot be removed correctly, acpi_bus_trim() ignores and continues to
remove devices. acpi_bus_hot_remove_device() uses acpi_bus_trim() for removing
devices. Therefore acpi_bus_hot_remove_device() can send _EJ0 to firmware,
even if the device is running on the system. In this case, the system cannot
work well.

Vasilis hit the bug at memory hotplug and reported it as follow:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/26/318

So acpi_bus_trim() should check whether device was removed or not correctly.
The patch adds error check into some functions to remove the device.

Applying the patch, acpi_bus_trim() stops removing devices when failing
to remove the device. But I think there is no impact with the
exceptionof CPU and Memory hotplug path. Because other device also fails
but the fail is an irregular case like device is NULL.

v1-v2
- add a rollback for reinstalling a notify handler.
