Re: [PATCH v3 1/4] powerpc/mobility: wait for memory transfer to complete

[Nicholas Piggin]

Excerpts from Laurent Dufour's message of June 27, 2022 11:53 pm:
> In pseries_migration_partition(), loop until the memory transfer is

> allowing callbacks to be run only once the migration is fully completed.

Is 500 specified anywhere? Another caller uses 1000, and the other one 
uses some backoff interval starting at 1ms...

If this wasn't required until later patches, maybe a comment about why 
it's here? Could call it wait_for_migration() or similar too.

Looks okay though from my basic reading of PAPR.
