powerpc/nvdimm: use H_SCM_QUERY hcall on H_OVERLAP error
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Right now we force an unbind of SCM memory at drcindex on H_OVERLAP error.
This really slows down operations like kexec where we get the H_OVERLAP
error because we don't go through a full hypervisor re init.

H_OVERLAP error for a H_SCM_BIND_MEM hcall indicates that SCM memory at
drc index is already bound. Since we don't specify a logical memory
address for bind hcall, we can use the H_SCM_QUERY hcall to query
the already bound logical address.

Boot time difference with and without patch is:

[    5.583617] IOMMU table initialized, virtual merging enabled
[    5.603041] papr_scm ibm,persistent-memory:ibm,pmemory@44104001: Retrying bind after unbinding
[  301.514221] papr_scm ibm,persistent-memory:ibm,pmemory@44108001: Retrying bind after unbinding
[  340.057238] hv-24x7: read 1530 catalog entries, created 537 event attrs (0 failures), 275 descs
