Memory hotplug can fail for some combinations of RAM and maxmem when
DDW is enabled in the presence of devices like nec-xhci-usb. DDW depends
on maximum addressable memory by guest and this value is currently
being calculated wrongly by the guest kernel routine memory_hotplug_max().
While there is an attempt to fix the guest kernel(*), this patch works
around the problem within QEMU itself.

memory_hotplug_max() routine in the guest kernel arrives at max
addressable memory by multiplying lmb-size with the lmb-count obtained
from ibm,dyanmic-memory property. There are two assumptions here:

- All LMBs are part of ibm,dynamic memory: This is not true for PowerKVM
   where only hot-pluggable LMBs are present in this property.
- The memory area comprising of RAM and hotplug region is contiguous: This
   needn't be true always for PowerKVM as there can be gap between
   boot time RAM and hotplug region.

This work around involves having all the LMBs (RMA, rest of the boot time
LMBs and hot-pluggable LMBs) as part of ibm,dynamic-memory so that
guest kernel's calculation of max addressable memory comes out correct
resulting in correct DDW value which prevents memory hotplug failures.
address@hidden is created for RMA, but RMA LMBs are also represented as
"reserved" LMBs in ibm,dynamic-memory. Parts of this are essenitally a
revert of e8f986fc57a664a74b9f685b466506366a15201b.

In addition to this, the alignment of hotplug memory region is reduced from
current 1G to 256M (LMB size in PowerKVM) so that we don't end up with any
gaps between boot time RAM and hotplug region.

This change has a side effect on how the memory nodes in DT are
represented before and after this change. As an example consider
a guest with the following memory related command line options:

-m 4G,slots=32,maxmem=8G -numa node,nodeid=0,mem=2G -numa node,nodeid=1,mem=2G

Before this change, the guest would have

Scenario 1
----------
address@hidden for RMA
address@hidden for rest of the boot time memory
ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory for hot-pluggable memory.

After this commit, the guest will have

Scenario 2
----------
address@hidden for RMA
ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory for the entire memory including
RMA, boot time memory as well as hot-pluggable memory.

If an existing guest having DT nodes as in Scenario 1 above is migrated
to a QEMU which has this change, at the target, it continues to have the
DT nodes as in Scenario 1. However after 1st reboot, the DT representation
changes over to Scenario 2.


Does this patch also enable hot-unplug or RMA and boot time LMBs?

Also, this would look nicer on top of "[RFC for-2.7 00/11] A new infrastructure for guest device trees" where all memory DT nodes are in one place so it is easier to follow what exactly you...



I haven't yet looked at Jian Jun's DRC migration patchset to ascertain
if this change works well with DRC migration.
