主题: [PATCH] acpi: Fix hot cpu remove problem on acpi subsystem
In Xen virtualization environment, When I used xen tools (xm vcpu-set
vcpu_number ) to test the vcpu add and remove, I found it is failure on vcpu
remove, I found the reason is that nothing to do when cpu remove in
acpi_processor_hotplug_notify function, so I add the code of send the
OFFLINE message to udev and add the rule of udev. it is ok on vcpu remove.

The processor driver used to generate ONLINE and OFFLINE messages. I
removed them with c1815e0740. According to the changelog, the driver
core still generates KOBJ_ADD and KOBJ_REMOVE events.
Thanks for your answer.
When I used xen tools (xm vcpu-set vcpu_numer) to reduce the cpu number. I
don't found any event . I use the following tool to capture the event:
udevadm monitor --env --kernel --udev.
If I used xen tools to add the cpu number , udev module will receive the
KOBJ_ADD event.
In my patch ,It is more fine to replace KOBJ_OFFLINE to KOBJ_REMOVE event .
I don't think we should emit KOBJ_REMOVE from the ACPI processor
driver. KOBJ_ADD is emitted by the driver model core
(device_register() -> device_add() path), and I think KOBJ_REMOVE
should also be emitted from the driver model core.
Is acpi_processor_remove() called when you remove a processor? I see
a path where it will be called via acpi_eject_store():
acpi_eject_store
acpi_os_hotplug_execute(acpi_bus_hot_remove_device)
acpi_bus_hot_remove_device
acpi_bus_trim
acpi_bus_remove
device_release_driver
dev->driver->remove (acpi_processor_remove())
acpi_device_unregister
device_unregister
device_del
kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE)
but as far as I can tell, this path is only used when we write
something to the "eject" sysfs file. I would think we'd want to use
most of this same path when we hot remove a CPU via the ACPI SCI
mechanism.
Because in my patch will send the KOBJ_REMOVE event to udev module. and
I write a udev rule like the following:
ACTION=="remove",DRIVER=="processor",SUBSYSTEM=="acpi",RUN+="/bin/bash
-c 'echo 1 > /sys%p/eject'"
This rule will write "1" to the "eject" sysfs file. and then call
acpi_eject_store function.
If you change acpi_processor_hotplug_notify() to use acpi_bus_trim()
for the removal case, you should get KOBJ_REMOVE events. Would that
be enough to make the xen vcpu remove work, or at least get you
closer?
Xen vcpu remove will work if add the acpi_bus_trim() in the
acpi_processor_hotplug_notify() function.
But I have two question:
1) If acpi processor driver send the KOBJ_REMOVE(or KOBJ_OFFLINE_CPU) to
udev module. user has a chance to decide to remove or not remove the cpu
? The default is remove cpu if user does not write any udev rule .
2) In the acpi_bus_trim function, the call patch is following:
acpi_bus_trim
acpi_bus_remove
device_release_driver
dev->driver->remove (acpi_processor_remove())
acpi_processor_handle_eject
cpu_down
acpi_device_unregister
device_unregister
device_del
kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE)
I think this call patch is not clear, and I think when acpi processor
driver receive the eject event. at first it send KOBJ_OFFLINE event to
udev module and udev rule decide to offline or not offline the cpu. and
if offline cpu and then acpi processor driver remove the processor
device(by listen CPU_DEAD event can know the cpu had offlined)
and so I think it is fine if has the following call path:
acpi_processor_hotplug_notify
register_hotcpu_notifier
kobject_uevent(KOBJ_OFFLINE)
and udev rule will offline the cpu
store_online
cpu_down
_cpu_down
cpu_notify_nofail (CPU_DEAD event)
and in acpi processor driver receive CPU_DEAD
acpi_cpu_soft_notify
acpi_bus_trim
acpi_bus_remove
device_release_driver
dev->driver->remove (acpi_processor_remove())
acpi_device_unregister
device_unregister
device_del
kobject_uevent(KOBJ_REMOVE)
