[PATCH v5 3/5] powerpc/pseries/eeh: Implement RTAS-based EEH error injection

From: Narayana Murty N

Date: Mon Oct 19 2026 - 06:25:53 EST


Replace the legacy MMIO stub in pseries_eeh_err_inject() with a full
PAPR-compliant RTAS error injection path.

Serialize each ibm,open-errinjct / ibm,errinjct / ibm,close-errinjct
session with errinjct_mutex because RTAS maintains state between these
calls.

Once ibm,open-errinjct succeeds, ibm,close-errinjct is attempted
after parameter preparation or ibm,errinjct failures. The RTAS work
area is allocated after a successful open to avoid holding it while
waiting for the mutex or if open fails.

VFIO EEH error injection exposes a generic userspace ABI. pSeries maps
the generic EEH error types to RTAS ibm,errinjct encodings via
pseries_eeh_type_to_rtas(). EEH_ERR_TYPE_32 and EEH_ERR_TYPE_64 are
unchanged; their values are defined in arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/eeh.h
and are not renumbered.

The RTAS work-area allocator guarantees that returned memory is within
the range accessible by RTAS (below min(ppc64_rma_size,
RTAS_INSTANTIATE_MAX), which is at most RTAS_INSTANTIATE_MAX = 1 GiB),
so the physical address fits in the 32-bit RTAS argument without
truncation.

Remove the now-unused eeh_pe_inject_mmio_error() helper and its
declaration; this patch removes its only caller.

Tested with corresponding QEMU patches:
