[PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/mm: call H_BLOCK_REMOVE when supported

From: Laurent Dufour
Date: Mon Sep 16 2019 - 05:57:33 EST


Now we do not call _BLOCK_REMOVE all the time when the feature is
exhibited.

Depending on the hardware and the hypervisor, the hcall H_BLOCK_REMOVE may
not be able to process all the page size for a segment base page size, as
reported by the TLB Invalidate Characteristics.o

For each couple base segment page size and actual page size, this
characteristic is telling the size of the block the hcall is supporting.

Due to the involve complexity in do_block_remove() and call_block_remove(),
and the fact currently a 8 size block is returned by the hypervisor, we
are only supporting 8 size block to the H_BLOCK_REMOVE hcall.

Furthermore a warning message is displayed at boot time in the case of an
unsupported block size.

In order to identify this limitation easily in the code,a local define
HBLKR_SUPPORTED_SIZE defining the currently supported block size, and a
dedicated checking helper is_supported_hlbkr() are introduced.

For regular pages and hugetlb, the assumption is made that the page size is
equal to the base page size. For THP the page size is assumed to be 16M.
