If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Mon Dec 18 13:28:59 CET 2017 From: Tyrel Datwyler <tyreld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2017 20:19:20 -0400 Subject: powerpc/pseries/vio: Dispose of virq mapping on vdevice unregister From: Tyrel Datwyler <tyreld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b8f89fea599d91e674497aad572613eb63181f31 ] When a vdevice is DLPAR removed from the system the vio subsystem doesn't bother unmapping the virq from the irq_domain. As a result we have a virq mapped to a hardware irq that is no longer valid for the irq_domain. A side effect is that we are left with /proc/irq/<irq#> affinity entries, and attempts to modify the smp_affinity of the irq will fail. In the following observed example the kernel log is spammed by ics_rtas_set_affinity errors after the removal of a VSCSI adapter. This is a result of irqbalance trying to adjust the affinity every 10 seconds. rpadlpar_io: slot U8408.E8E.10A7ACV-V5-C25 removed ics_rtas_set_affinity: ibm,set-xive irq=655385 returns -3 ics_rtas_set_affinity: ibm,set-xive irq=655385 returns -3 This patch fixes the issue by calling irq_dispose_mapping() on the virq of the viodev on unregister.
