s390/dasd: fix hanging device after clear subchannel

2016-08-31T23:31:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9ba333dc55cbb9523553df973adb3024d223e905 ] When a device is in a status where CIO has killed all I/O by itself the interrupt for a clear request may not contain an irb to determine the clear function. Instead it contains an error pointer -EIO. This was ignored by the DASD int_handler leading to a hanging device waiting for a clear interrupt. Handle -EIO error pointer correctly for requests that are clear pending and treat the clear as successful.

s390/dasd: fix refcount for PAV reassignment

2016-03-04T15:18:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9d862ababb609439c5d6987f6d3ddd09e703aa0b ] Add refcount to the DASD device when a summary unit check worker is scheduled. This prevents that the device is set offline with worker in place. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stefan Haberland Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

s390/dasd: prevent incorrect length error under z/VM after PAV changes

2016-03-04T15:18:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 020bf042e5b397479c1174081b935d0ff15d1a64 ] The channel checks the specified length and the provided amount of data for CCWs and provides an incorrect length error if the size does not match. Under z/VM with simulation activated the length may get changed. Having the suppress length indication bit set is stated as good CCW coding practice and avoids errors under z/VM.

Merge branch 'for-3.18/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block layer driver update from Jens Axboe: "This is the block driver pull request for 3.18. Not a lot in there this round, and nothing earth shattering. - A round of drbd fixes from the linbit team, and an improvement in asender performance. - Removal of deprecated (and unused) IRQF_DISABLED flag in rsxx and hd from Michael Opdenacker. - Disable entropy collection from flash devices by default, from Mike Snitzer. - A small collection of xen blkfront/back fixes from Roger Pau Monné and Vitaly Kuznetsov" * 'for-3.18/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices xen, blkfront: factor out flush-related checks from do_blkif_request() xen-blkback: fix leak on grant map error path xen/blkback: unmap all persistent grants when frontend gets disconnected rsxx: Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED block: hd: remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED drbd: use RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS() to define augment callbacks drbd: compute the end before rb_insert_augmented() drbd: Add missing newline in resync progress display in /proc/drbd drbd: reduce lock contention in drbd_worker drbd: Improve asender performance drbd: Get rid of the WORK_PENDING macro drbd: Get rid of the __no_warn and __cond_lock macros drbd: Avoid inconsistent locking warning drbd: Remove superfluous newline from "resync_extents" debugfs entry. drbd: Use consistent names for all the bi_end_io callbacks drbd: Use better variable names

s390/dasd: fix infinite loop during format

2014-10-09T07:13:51+00:00

Error recovery requests may not be cleaned up correctly so that other needed erp requests can not be build because of insufficient memory. This would lead to an infinite loop trying to build erp requests. Signed-off-by: Stefan Haberland Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices

2014-10-04T16:55:32+00:00

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT. Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy contributions. But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"): - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they should contribute to the random pool in the first place. - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead. There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block devices. From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random" sources. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
