s390/dasd: fix inability to set a DASD device offline

2015-04-15T10:23:50+00:00

Fix ref counting for DASD devices leading to an inability to set a DASD device offline. Before a worker is scheduled the DASD device driver takes a reference to the device. If the worker was already scheduled this reference was never freed. Fix by giving the reference to the DASD device free when schedule_work() returns false.

s390: remove 31 bit support

2015-03-25T10:49:33+00:00

Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel. The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e5826 ("s390: add 31 bit warning message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit code. We didn't get any response. Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's remove the code. Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

s390/dasd: add support for control unit initiated reconfiguration

2014-10-09T07:13:54+00:00

Add support for Control Unit Initiated Reconfiguration (CUIR) to Linux, a storage server interface to reconcile concurrent hardware changes between storage and host. Reviewed-by: Stefan Weinhuber Signed-off-by: Stefan Haberland Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

dasd: fix error recovery for alias devices during format

2014-07-22T07:26:23+00:00

Kernel panic or a hanging device during format if an alias device is set offline or I/O errors occur. Omit the error recovery procedure for alias devices and do retries on the base device with full erp. Signed-off-by: Stefan Haberland Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

dasd: use aliases for formatted devices during format

2014-07-22T07:26:21+00:00

Formatting of a previously formatted device is slower than newly format a device when alias devices are available. For already formatted devices the alias devices are not used for formatting. Fix the alias handling for already formatted devices. Signed-off-by: Stefan Haberland Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Merge tag 'v3.13-rc6' into for-3.14/core

2013-12-31T16:51:02+00:00

Needed to bring blk-mq uptodate, since changes have been going in since for-3.14/core was established. Fixup merge issues related to the immutable biovec changes.

block: Convert bio_for_each_segment() to bvec_iter

2013-11-24T06:33:49+00:00

More prep work for immutable biovecs - with immutable bvecs drivers won't be able to use the biovec directly, they'll need to use helpers that take into account bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done. This updates callers for the new usage without changing the implementation yet.

s390/dasd: validate request size before building CCW/TCW request

2013-11-20T08:04:54+00:00

An I/O request that does not read or write full blocks cannot be translated into a correct CCW or TCW program and should be rejected right away. In particular the code that creates TCW requests will not notice this problem and create broken TCWs that will be rejected by the hardware. Signed-off-by: Stefan Weinhuber Reference-ID: RQM1956

s390/dasd: check for availability of prefix command during format

2013-10-15T11:47:58+00:00

The prefix command is used instead of a define extent to make use of PAV alias devices during format. On some older storage servers the prefix command may not be available and the IO request will fail. Check for availability of prefix command and use define extent if not available.
