    dmaengine: ioatdma: Ignore IOAT devices under hotplug-capable PCI host bridge · b6c52c63
    Jiang Liu authored
    The dmaengine core assumes that async DMA devices will only be removed
    when they not used anymore, or it assumes dma_async_device_unregister()
    will only be called by dma driver exit routines. But this assumption is
    not true for the IOAT driver, which calls dma_async_device_unregister()
    from ioat_remove(). So current IOAT driver doesn't support device
    hot-removal because it may cause system crash to hot-remove an inuse
    IOAT device.
    
    To support CPU socket hot-removal, all PCI devices, including IOAT
    devices embedded in the socket, will be hot-removed. The idea solution
    is to enhance the dmaengine core and IOAT driver to support hot-removal,
    but that's too hard.
    
    This patch implements a hack to disable IOAT devices under hotplug-capable
    CPU socket so it won't break socket hot-removal.
