The powerpc mobility code may receive RTAS requests to perform PRRN (Platform Resource Reassignment Notification) topology changes at any time, including during LPAR migration operations. In some configurations where the affinity of CPUs or memory is being changed on that platform, the PRRN requests may apply or refer to outdated information prior to the complete update of the device-tree. This patch changes the duration for which topology updates are suppressed during LPAR migrations from just the rtas_ibm_suspend_me() / 'ibm,suspend-me' call(s) to cover the entire migration_store() operation to allow all changes to the device-tree to be applied prior to accepting and applying any PRRN requests. For tracking purposes, pr_info notices are added to the functions start_topology_update() and stop_topology_update() of 'numa.c'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
