Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: unregister VPA when hot unplugging a CPU
References: bsc#1205695 ltc#200603
Patch-mainline: v6.2-rc1
Git-commit: f6aa37c51ec0d053ee34c235bfe0e666618a3baf
The VPA should unregister when offlining a CPU. Otherwise there could be
a short window where 2 CPUs could share the same VPA.
This happens because the hypervisor is still keeping the VPA attached to
the vCPU even if it became offline.
Here is a potential situation:
1. remove proc A,
2. add proc B. If proc B gets proc A's place in cpu_present_mask, then
it registers proc A's VPAs.
3. If proc B is then re-added to the LP, its threads are sharing VPAs
with proc A briefly as they come online.
As the hypervisor may check for the VPA's yield_count field oddity, it
may detect an unexpected value and kill the LPAR.
