[ Upstream commit 75838a3290cd4ebbd1f567f310ba04b6ef017ce4 ]
If the hypervisor returned H_PTEG_FULL for H_ENTER hcall, retry a hash page table insert by removing a random entry from the group.
After some runtime, it is very well possible to find all the 8 hash page table entry slot in the hpte group used for mapping. Don't fail a bolted entry insert in that case. With Storage class memory a user can find this error easily since a namespace enable/disable is equivalent to memory add/remove.
This results in failures as reported below:
$ ndctl create-namespace -r region1 -t pmem -m devdax -a 65536 -s 100M libndctl: ndctl_dax_enable: dax1.3: failed to enable Error: namespace1.2: failed to enable
failed to create namespace: No such device or address
In kernel log we find the details as below:
Unable to create mapping for hot added memory 0xc000042006000000..0xc00004200d000000: -1 dax_pmem: probe of dax1.3 failed with error -14
This indicates that we failed to create a bolted hash table entry for direct-map address backing the namespace.
We also observe failures such that not all namespaces will be enabled with ndctl enable-namespace all command.
