Return AE_OK to continue the walk. AE_CTRL_DEPTH will cause the walk to

Anything other than these two exceptions will completely abort the walk.

Let me check with AE_OK (this is non-zero?). It will be several hours.

Thanks,
Keith

As far as the unknown exception,

I would guess that the callback routine for walk_resources is
returning
a non-zero status value which is causing an immediate abort of the
walk
with that value -- and the value is bogus.

Before I put this check in acpi_motherboard_add always attached
itself
to any resource type. I simply changed it so if the type is not
ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_IO or ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_FIXED_IO it doesn't attach
and can continue to find the correct device to attach to.

Perhaps the motherboard device needs to attach to more device types?

It was suggest by acpi folks to return -EINVAL. Should something
else
be returned?


Thanks,
Keith

Yep, see -EINVAL below.

rc4/2.6.18-rc4-mm3/broken-out/hot-add-mem-x86_64-acpi-motherboard-
fix.patch



From: Keith Mannthey <kmannth@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch set allow SPARSEMEM and RESERVE based hot-add to work. I
have
test both options and they work as expected. I am adding memory to
the
2nd node of a numa system (x86_64).

Major changes from last set is the config change and RESERVE
enablment.


This patch:


Make ACPI motherboard driver not attach to devices/handles it
dosen't
expect.
Fix a bug where the motherboard driver attached to hot-add memory
event
and
caused the add memory call to fail.
