commit fbee6ba2dca30d302efe6bddb3a886f5e964a257 upstream.

In lmb_is_removable(), if a section is not present, it should continue
to test the rest of the sections in the block. But the current code
fails to do so.

I noticed these nested ifs can be easily replaced by switch-cases,
which can improve readability.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
     as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
     record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
     kernel crashes.

   - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
     vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

   - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
     use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

  And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

During post-migration device tree updates, we can oops in
pseries_update_drconf_memory() if the source device tree has an
ibm,dynamic-memory-v2 property and the destination has a
ibm,dynamic_memory (v1) property. The notifier processes an "update"
for the ibm,dynamic-memory property but it's really an add in this
scenario. So make sure the old property object is there before
dereferencing it.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Track LMB nid instead of using device tree</title>

When removing memory we need to remove the memory from the node
it was added to instead of looking up the node it should be in
in the device tree.

During testing we have seen scenarios where the affinity for a
LMB changes due to a partition migration or PRRN event. In these
cases the node the LMB exists in may not match the node the device
tree indicates it belongs in. This can lead to a system crash
when trying to DLPAR remove the LMB after a migration or PRRN
event. The current code looks up the node in the device tree to
remove the LMB from, the crash occurs when we try to offline this
node and it does not have any data, i.e. node_data[nid] == NULL.

<content type='text'>
In update_lmb_associativity_index() we lookup dr_node using
of_find_node_by_path() which takes a reference for us. In the
non-error case we forget to drop the reference. Note that
find_aa_index() does modify properties of the node, but doesn't need
an extra reference held once it's returned.

In update_lmb_associativity_index() we lookup dr_node using
of_find_node_by_path() which takes a reference for us. In the
non-error case we forget to drop the reference. Note that
find_aa_index() does modify properties of the node, but doesn't need
an extra reference held once it's returned.

<title>powerpc/fadump: Do not allow hot-remove memory from fadump reserved area.</title>

For fadump to work successfully there should not be any holes in reserved
memory ranges where kernel has asked firmware to move the content of old
kernel memory in event of crash. Now that fadump uses CMA for reserved
area, this memory area is now not protected from hot-remove operations
unless it is cma allocated. Hence, fadump service can fail to re-register
after the hot-remove operation, if hot-removed memory belongs to fadump
reserved region. To avoid this make sure that memory from fadump reserved
area is not hot-removable if fadump is registered.

However, if user still wants to remove that memory, he can do so by
manually stopping fadump service before hot-remove operation.

<title>powerpc: Use device_type helpers to access the node type</title>

Remove directly accessing device_node.type pointer and use the
accessors instead. This will eventually allow removing the type
pointer.

Replace the open coded iterating over child nodes with
for_each_child_of_node() while we're here.

<title>mm/memory_hotplug: make add_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock</title>

add_memory() currently does not take the device_hotplug_lock, however
is aleady called under the lock from
	arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c
	drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c
to synchronize against CPU hot-remove and similar.

In general, we should hold the device_hotplug_lock when adding memory to
synchronize against online/offline request (e.g.  from user space) - which
already resulted in lock inversions due to device_lock() and
mem_hotplug_lock - see 30467e0b3be ("mm, hotplug: fix concurrent memory
hot-add deadlock").  add_memory()/add_memory_resource() will create memory
block devices, so this really feels like the right thing to do.

Holding the device_hotplug_lock makes sure that a memory block device
can really only be accessed (e.g. via .online/.state) from user space,
once the memory has been fully added to the system.

The lock is not held yet in
	drivers/xen/balloon.c
	arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c
	drivers/s390/char/sclp_cmd.c
	drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c
So, let's either use the locked variants or take the lock.

Don't export add_memory_resource(), as it once was exported to be used by
XEN, which is never built as a module.  If somebody requires it, we also
have to export a locked variant (as device_hotplug_lock is never
exported).
