thanks, on a closer look that makes sense. MRMV is sufficient, example patch
below.
With the new "query-acpi-ospm-status" we can read OST status from QMP. However
as I mentioned, on succesful removal, the guest kernel does not send the OST success
status (0x0).
This leads to the scenario where memory device is succesfully ejected, _EJ0 is
evaluated in guest and device is deleted in qemu (with the patch below). The
dimm will no longer show up in "query-memory-devices", however the ospm status
of the dimm slot will still remain at 0x84 (ejection in progress). This can
be confusing to management layers. Do you have any suggestion for how to
report the succesful _EJ0? We could simply write a succesful status:
mdev->ost_status = 0x0
when MRMV is written to, but it is a bit hacky. On the other hand, having another
command only for _EJ0 notification sounds like overkill.
In terms of linux kernel ACPI conformity, Figure 6-37 in the spec implies that
_OST evaluation is not required after succesfull _EJ0 evaluation. Also see
relevant comment in drivers/acpi/scan.c: acpi_scan_hot_remove() line 378
(3.15-rc8):
/*
* Verify if eject was indeed successful. If not, log an error
* message. No need to call _OST since _EJ0 call was made
* OK.
*/
