  Interesting. Looking at the drmgr logs the DLPAR remove of the PHB is not failing because of an error but because the drmgr is timing out before it is able to complete the request. I am building the latest upstream code and will take a look as to why the request is timing out, this should be able to complete within  the five minute timeout given.

  When looking at this bz prior to the Thanksgiving break I was noticing that the hotplug slots under this PHB are not getting registered by the rpadlpar_io kernel module (this is where we handle pci hotplug on Power). This results in them not getting removed when we go to remove the PHB and resulting in the scenario we are seeing. The continuous output of the "PHB 245 Removed" message.

  Can anyone comment on whether this issue is seen on any other systems
  or on any other distros?

  == Comment: #4 - Nathan D. Fontenot <nfonteno@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2015-12-08 12:09:13 ==
  Updates from further investigation into this issue.

  This does not appear to be a drmgr issue. I was able to boot a 4.2
  kernel on the system and then add and remove the adapter without any
  problems.

  It appears the reason the dlpar add of the adapter is failing is
  because the device tree gets set up wrong. In the process of adding
  the adapter the first update to the device tree is to add the
  interrupt controller for the PHB, afterwards we add the PHB itself.
  When the PHB is added the kernel is putting the PHB under the
  interrupt controller instead of in the root of the device tree where
  it belongs. This causes the drmgr command to think a failure occurs
  because it cannot find the PHB after adding it to the device tree, it
  should not be under the interrupt controller and we do not look for it
  there.

  As mentioned above, the same drmgr command fails on the stock kernel
  and works on a 4.2 kernel. Next step is to determine why the PHB is
  being put under the interrupt controller instead of the root node.

  == Comment: #5 - Nathan D. Fontenot <nfonteno@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2016-01-12 11:58:18 ==
  The fix for this issue is already upstream in commit 	99de64984c3a7c9bf56a50e6dcc51006c9485620

  OF: fix of_find_node_by_path() assumption that of_allnodes is root
  of_find_node_by_path() is borked because of_allnodes is not guaranteed to
  contain the root of the tree after using any of the dynamic update functions
  because some other nodes ends up as of_allnodes.

  Fixes: c22e650e66b8 of: Make of_find_node_by_path() handle /aliases

  This patch is needed to avoid breaking DLPAR capabilities on he power platforms.

  Without this patch the DLPAR capabilities of Power platforms to add
  devices is broken.
