The patchset is based on "5f3d2f2e1a63679cf1c4a4210f2f1cc2f335bef6" from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git And you pull the changeset from git://github.com/jiangliu/linux.git acpihp Modern high-end server may support advanced hotplug features for system devices, including physical processor, memory board, IO extension board and/or computer node. The ACPI specifications have provided standard interfaces between firmware and OS to support device hotplug at runtime. This patch series provide an ACPI based hotplug framework to support system device hotplug at runtime, which will replace current existing ACPI device driver based CPU/memory/CONTAINER hotplug mechanism. The new ACPI system device hotplug framework has following design goals: 1) Provide a mechanism to detect hotplug slots by checking ACPI _EJ0 method, ACPI PRCT (platform RAS capabilities table) and other platform specific mechanisms. 2) Unify the way to enumerate ACPI based hotplug slots. All hotplug slots will be enumerated by the enumeration driver, instead of by ACPI device drivers. 3) Unify the way to handle ACPI hotplug events. All ACPI hotplug events for system devices will be handled by a generic ACPI hotplug driver, instead of handled by ACPI device drivers. 4) Solve dependencies among hotplug slots. You need first to remove the memory device before removing a physical processor if a hotpluggable memory device is connected to a hotpluggable physical processor. 5) Provide better error handling and recover. 6) Provide interface to cancel ongoing hotplug operations. It may take a very long time to remove a memory device, so provide interface to cancel the operation. This is important especially for memory hot-removal. 7) Support new RAS features, such as socket/memory migration. 8) Provide better user interfaces to the hotplug functionalities. 9) Trigger hotplug events/operations by software. This feature is useful for hardware fault management and power saving. The new ACPI based hotplug framework is modelled after PCI hotplug architecture, which uses a hotplug driver to manage hotplug operations and different device drivers to manage individual devices. The new framework contains three main components as follow: 1) ACPI system device hotplug slot enumerator, which enumerates all ACPI hotplug slots according to platform specific knowledges. And it also provides callbacks to control each slot, such as poweron, poweroff, get_status etc. Currently there are two built-in methods to detect hotplug slots. 1.a) Detecting hotplug slot by checking _EJ0 method. 1.b) Faking hotplug slot. Use "modprobe acpihp_slot fake_slot=0xnn", 0x1 for CONTAINER, 0x2 for memory device, 0x4 for CPU and 0x8 PCI host bridge. The fake slot enumerator will treat each assigned ACPI device as a hotplug slot, so it could be used for testing on hardware platforms without hardware hotplug capabilities. 2) ACPI system device hotplug driver, which implements a platform indenpendent state machine for hotplug slots and also provides sysfs based user interfaces. 3) Enhanced ACPI device drivers for CONTAINER, CPU, Memroy and PCI host bridge. All logic to handle hotplug events has been moved from these ACPI device driver into the hotplug driver. Now these ACPI device dirvers only take resposibilities configure/unconfigure corresponding system devices when hotplug happens. Now 1), 2) and part of 2) are ready, we still need to enhance mem_hotplug and pci_root drivers to support new hotplug framework.
