    pseries/iommu: Ensure TCEs are cleared with non-huge DDW · 71cf1def
    Nishanth Aravamudan authored
    There are now two kinds of DMA windows that might be presented by
    PowerVM DDW support -- huge windows (that can map all of system memory
    regardless of the LPAR configuration) and non-huge windows (which
    can't). They are implemented slightly differently in PowerVM, and thus
    have different characteristics. The most obvious is that slot isolate
    doesn't clear the TCEs/window for us with non-huge windows. Thus, when a
    DLPAR operation occurs on a slot using a non-huge window, TCEs are still
    present (the notifier chain doesn't currently remove them explicitly)
    and the DLPAR fails. Fix this by calling remove_ddw() first, which will
    unmap the DDW TCEs.
    
    Note: a corresponding change to drmgr is needed to actually successfully
    DLPAR, such that the device-tree update (which causes the notifier chain
    to fire) occurs before slot isolate.
