[Ubuntu 18.04 FEAT] OpenCAPI enabling

------- Comment From <email address hidden> 2018-02-14 13:03 EDT-------
The code for this feature is available in kernel 4.16-rc1, and we'd like to backport the following 13 patches for 18.04. They should apply cleanly on a 4.15 kernel:

7f2c39e91f61 powerpc/powernv: Introduce new PHB type for opencapi links
228c2f410378 powerpc/powernv: Set correct configuration space size for opencapi devices
74d656d219b9 powerpc/powernv: Add opal calls for opencapi
6914c757118e powerpc/powernv: Add platform-specific services for opencapi
2cb3d64b2698 powerpc/powernv: Capture actag information for the device
5ef3166e8a32 ocxl: Driver code for 'generic' opencapi devices
aeddad1760ae ocxl: Add AFU interrupt support
280b983ce2b8 ocxl: Add a kernel API for other opencapi drivers

Today is the deadline for new feature submission and I don't see this driver code in the bionic tree. What's needed to make it happen?

Hi, Frederic.

It's fix committed, which means it's no the master-next branch of the bionic tree. The next release of 4.15 will have these patches. Can you confirm all of them are on the master-next branch?

Thank you.
Cascardo.

Indeed, I can see the 13 patches on the master-next branch.
So it looks like we are in shape.
Great, thanks!

I've just realized with some help that the code for this feature is in the proposed kernel 4.15.0-12.13. Yet there was no update to this bug to notify. Does it look good? Am I expected to validate on that kernel version?
Thanks

I've tested kernel 4.15.0-12.13 and the ocxl driver is working as expected
