摘要： A method and apparatus for coordinating dynamic memory page deallocation with a redundant bit line steering mechanism are provided. With the method and apparatus, memory scrubbing and redundant bit line steering operations are performed in parallel with handling of notifications of runtime correctable errors. When a correctable error is encountered during runtime, and the correctable error is determined to be persistent, then dynamic memory page deallocation is requested of a hypervisor. The determination of persistence is based on a history CE table that is populated by the operation of the memory scrubbing and redundant bit line steering mechanism of a service processor. Thus, only those correctable errors that persist for longer than one memory scrubbing cycle are subject to memory page deallocation.

摘要： A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, set uncorrectable error indicators in logical memory blocks in response to detecting an uncorrectable error in memory pages associated with the logical memory blocks. If the logical memory block is allocated to a hypervisor, the memory page may be deallocated in response to detection of the uncorrectable error. When an IPL of a partition is subsequently performed, a determination is made whether a logical memory block allocated to the partition previously encountered the uncorrectable error via the uncorrectable error indicator. If the logical memory block did previously encounter the uncorrectable error, the logical memory block is deallocated from the partition. In an embodiment, if spare memory exists, the logical memory block with the previously encountered uncorrectable error is replaced with the spare memory and the IPL of the partition is continued with the spare memory. If spare memory does not exist, the IPL of the partition is continued without the logical memory block that previously encountered the uncorrectable error. This allows a partition to IPL if it had not been able to because of a persistent uncorrectable error in its IPL path.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for temporarily allocating dedicated processors to a shared processor pool. A virtual machine monitor determines whether a temporary allocation associated with an identified dedicated processor is long-term or short-term. Responsive to the temporary allocation being long-term, the virtual machine monitor determines whether an operating frequency of the identified dedicated processor is within a predetermined threshold of an operating frequency of one or more operating systems utilizing the shared processor pool. Responsive to the operating frequency of the identified dedicated processor failing to be within the predetermined threshold, the virtual machine monitor either increases or decreases the frequency of the identified dedicated processor to be within the predetermined threshold of the operating frequency of the one or more operating systems utilizing the shared processor pool and temporarily allocates the identified dedicated processor to the shared processor pool.

摘要： Transparent hypervisor pinning of critical memory areas is provided for a shared memory partition data processing system. The transparent hypervisor pinning includes receiving at a hypervisor a hypervisor call initiated by a logical partition to register a logical memory area of the logical partition with the hypervisor. Responsive to this hypervisor call, the hypervisor transparently determines whether the logical memory is a critical memory area for access by the hypervisor. If the logical memory area is a critical memory area, then the hypervisor automatically pins the logical memory area to physical memory of the shared memory partition data processing system, thereby ensuring that the memory area will not be paged-out from physical memory to external storage, and thus ensuring availability of the logic memory area to the hypervisor.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for transparently consolidating resources of logical partitions. Responsive to the existence of the non-folded resource on an originating resource chip, the virtualization mechanism determines whether there is a destination resource chip to either exchange operations of the non-folded resource with a folded resource on the destination chip or migrate operations of the non-folded resource to a non-folded resource on the destination chip. Responsive to the existence of the folded resource on the destination resource chip, the virtualization mechanism transparently exchanges the operations of the non-folded resource from the originating resource chip to the folded resource on the destination resource chip, where the folded resource remains folded on the originating resource chip after the exchange. Responsive to the absence of another non-folded resource on the originating resource chip, the vitalization mechanism places the originating resource chip into a deeper power saving mode.

摘要： A firmware update process for a self-virtualizing IO resource such as an SRIOV adapter is incorporated into a platform firmware update process to systematically update the resource firmware in a manner that is for the most part transparent to the logical partitions sharing the adapter. In particular, resource firmware associated with a self-virtualizing IO resource is bundled with firmware for at least one adjunct partition associated with that self-virtualizing IO resource within a common firmware image so that, upon restart of the adjunct partition to use the updated firmware image, the resource firmware is also updated, with a logical partition that uses the self-virtualizing IO resource maintained in an active state during the restart, and without requiring the self-virtualizing IO resource to be deconfigured from the logical partition.

摘要： An apparatus, program product and method support the deallocation of a data structure in a multithreaded computer without requiring the use of computationally expensive semaphores or spin locks. Specifically, access to a data structure is governed by a shared pointer that, when a request is received to deallocate the data structure, is initially set to a value that indicates to any thread that later accesses the pointer that the data structure is not available. In addition, to address any thread that already holds a copy of the shared pointer, and thus is capable of accessing the data structure via the shared pointer after the initiation of the request, all such threads are monitored to determine whether any thread is still using the shared pointer by determining whether any thread is executing program code that is capable of using the shared pointer to access the data structure. Once this condition is met, it is ensured that no thread can potentially access the data structure via the shared pointer, and as such, the data structure may then be deallocated.
