Subject: powerpc/pseries/vas: Ignore VAS update for DLPAR if copy/paste is not enabled
From: Haren Myneni <haren@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit eca9f6e6f83b6725b84e1c76fdde19b003cff0eb upstream.
The hypervisor supports user-mode NX from Power10.
pseries_vas_dlpar_cpu() is called from lparcfg_write() to update VAS
windows for DLPAR event in shared processor mode and the kernel gets
-ENOTSUPP for HCALLs if the user-mode NX is not supported. The current
VAS implementation also supports only with Radix page tables. Whereas in
dedicated processor mode, pseries_vas_notifier() is registered only if
the copy/paste feature is enabled. So instead of displaying HCALL error
messages, update VAS capabilities if the copy/paste feature is
available.
This patch ignores updating VAS capabilities in pseries_vas_dlpar_cpu()
and returns success if the copy/paste feature is not enabled. Then
lparcfg_write() completes the processor DLPAR operations without any
failures.
