Just had an idea that I think it's in the line of what you're suggesting. Given that the information we need is only created in the spapr_del_lmbs (as per patch 1), we can use the absence of this information in the release callback as a sort of a flag, an indication that a migration got in the way and we need to reconstruct the nr_lmbs states again, using the same scanning function I've used in v8. The flow would be like this (considering the changes in the previous 3 patches so far): ------------ /* Callback to be called during DRC release. */ void spapr_lmb_release(DeviceState *dev) { HotplugHandler *hotplug_ctrl; uint64_t addr = spapr_dimm_get_address(PC_DIMM(dev)); sPAPRMachineState *spapr = SPAPR_MACHINE(qdev_get_machine()); sPAPRDIMMState *ds = spapr_pending_dimm_unplugs_find(spapr, addr); // no DIMM state found in spapr - re-create it to find out how may LMBs are left if (ds == NULL) { uint32 nr_lmbs = ***call_scanning_LMB_DRCs_function(dev)*** // recreate the sPAPRDIMMState element and add it back to spapr } ( resume callback as usual ) ----------- Is this approach be adequate? Another alternative would be to use another way of detecting if an LMB unplug is happening and, if positive, do the same process in the post_load(). In this case I'll need to take a look in the code and see how we can detect an ongoing unplug besides what I've said above.

You could scan DRCs/LMBs for each DIMM and generate an sPAPRDIMMState for any case where DRCs/LMBs are not all present. But doing it the way you've proposed above lets us re-generate them as needed and avoid the exhaustive scan. I'd be sure to document it in the comments as a migration-specific hook though since you lose that understanding by moving it out of postload and future refactorings might forget why we have a hook that regenerates it even though spapr_del_lmbs always sets it initially. > > > Thanks, > > > Daniel > > > > >> --- > >> hw/ppc/spapr.c | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > >> 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+) > >> > >> diff --git a/hw/ppc/spapr.c b/hw/ppc/spapr.c > >> index e190eb9..30f0b7b 100644 > >> --- a/hw/ppc/spapr.c > >> +++ b/hw/ppc/spapr.c > >> @@ -1437,6 +1437,36 @@ static bool version_before_3(void *opaque, int version_id) > >> return version_id < 3; > >> } > >> > >> +static bool spapr_pending_dimm_unplugs_needed(void *opaque) > >> +{ > >> + sPAPRMachineState *spapr = (sPAPRMachineState *)opaque; > >> + return !QTAILQ_EMPTY(&spapr->pending_dimm_unplugs); > >> +} > >> + > >> +static const VMStateDescription vmstate_spapr_dimmstate = { > >> + .name = "spapr_dimm_state", > >> + .version_id = 1, > >> + .minimum_version_id = 1, > >> + .fields = (VMStateField[]) { > >> + VMSTATE_UINT64(addr, sPAPRDIMMState), > >> + VMSTATE_UINT32(nr_lmbs, sPAPRDIMMState), > >> + VMSTATE_END_OF_LIST() > >> + }, > >> +}; > >> + > >> +static const VMStateDescription vmstate_spapr_pending_dimm_unplugs = { > >> + .name = "spapr_pending_dimm_unplugs", > >> + .version_id = 1, > >> + .minimum_version_id = 1, > >> + .needed = spapr_pending_dimm_unplugs_needed, > >> + .fields = (VMStateField[]) { > >> + VMSTATE_QTAILQ_V(pending_dimm_unplugs, sPAPRMachineState, 1, > >> + vmstate_spapr_dimmstate, sPAPRDIMMState, > >> + next), > >> + VMSTATE_END_OF_LIST() > >> + }, > >> +}; > >> + > >> static bool spapr_ov5_cas_needed(void *opaque) > >> { > >> sPAPRMachineState *spapr = opaque; > >> @@ -1535,6 +1565,7 @@ static const VMStateDescription vmstate_spapr = { > >> .subsections = (const VMStateDescription*[]) { > >> &vmstate_spapr_ov5_cas, > >> &vmstate_spapr_patb_entry, > >> + &vmstate_spapr_pending_dimm_unplugs, > >> NULL > >> } > >> }; >

To allow for a DIMM unplug event to resume its work if a migration occurs in the middle of it, this patch migrates the non-empty pending_dimm_unplugs QTAILQ that stores the DIMM information that the spapr_lmb_release() callback uses. It was considered an apprach where the DIMM states would be restored on the post-_load after a migration. The problem is that there is no way of knowing, from the sPAPRMachineState, if a given DIMM is going through an unplug process and the callback needs the updated DIMM State. We could migrate a flag indicating that there is an unplug event going on for a certain DIMM, fetching this information from the start of the spapr_del_lmbs call. But this would also require a scan on post_load to figure out how many nr_lmbs are left. At this point we can just migrate the nr_lmbs information as well, given that it is being calculated at spapr_del_lmbs already, and spare a scanning/discovery in the post-load. All that we need is inside the sPAPRDIMMState structure that is added to the pending_dimm_unplugs queue at the start of the spapr_del_lmbs, so it's convenient to just migrated this queue it if it's not empty.
