      [POWERPC] pSeries: EEH improperly enabled for some Power4 systems · 25c4a46f
      Linas Vepstas authored
      
      
      It appears that EEH is improperly enabled for some Power4 systems.
      On these systems, the ibm,set-eeh-option returns a value of success
      even when EEH is not supported on the given node. Thus, an explicit
      check for support is required.
      
      During boot, on power4, without this patch, one sees messages
      similar to:
      
      EEH: event on unsupported device, rc=0 dn=/pci@400000000110/IBM,sp@1
      EEH: event on unsupported device, rc=0 dn=/pci@400000000110/pci@2
      EEH: event on unsupported device, rc=0 dn=/pci@400000000110/pci@2,2
      etc.
      
      The patch makes these go away.
      
      Without this patch, EEH recovery does seem to work correctly for
      at least some devices (I tested ethernet e1000), but fails to
      recover others (the Emulex LightPulse LPFC, most notably).
      Off the top of my head, I don't remember why some devices are
      affected, but not others.
      
      The PAPR indicates that the correct way to test for EEH is as
      done in this patch; its not clear to me if this was in the PAPR
      all along, or recently added; if it was there all along, its not
      clear to me why this hadn't been fixed long ago. I suspect only
      certain firmware levels are affected.

      [PATCH] powerpc: PCI hotplug common code elimination · e2a296ee
      Linas Vepstas authored
      
      
      20-rpaphp-eeh-cleanup.patch
      
      This patch move some code from the rpaphp directory, to the powerpc
      directory, where it should have been all along (Among other things, I
      need it in the powerpc directory for the PCI error recovery.)
      
      Please note that patch affects TWO maintainers: Paul, after applying
      the powerpc part, please ask that GregKH appli the PCI part. It is safe
      to have the powerpc part go in first. It would be bad to have the
      PCI part go in first.
