s390/dasd: fix failing CUIR assignment under LPAR

2016-08-11T07:29:14+00:00

On LPAR the read message buffer command should be executed on the path it was received on otherwise there is a chance that the CUIR assignment might be faulty and the wrong channel path is set online/offline. Fix by setting the path mask accordingly. On z/VM we might not be able to do I/O on this path but there it does not matter on which path the read message buffer command is executed. Therefor implement a retry with an open path mask. Signed-off-by: Stefan Haberland

s390/dasd: fix hanging device after clear subchannel

2016-08-10T08:12:16+00:00

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.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: - Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing. The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm. ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers to the memory controller on a power-fail event. Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure". A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been flushed to media. - On-demand ARS (address range scrub). Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a re-scrub at any time. - Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command format. - Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges. - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem. * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (41 commits) libnvdimm-btt: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "__nd_device_register" nfit: do an ARS scrub on hitting a latent media error nfit: move to nfit/ sub-directory nfit, libnvdimm: allow an ARS scrub to be triggered on demand libnvdimm: register nvdimm_bus devices with an nd_bus driver pmem: clarify a debug print in pmem_clear_poison x86/insn: remove pcommit Revert "KVM: x86: add pcommit support" nfit, tools/testing/nvdimm/: unify shutdown paths libnvdimm: move ->module to struct nvdimm_bus_descriptor nfit: cleanup acpi_nfit_init calling convention nfit: fix _FIT evaluation memory leak + use after free tools/testing/nvdimm: add manufacturing_{date|location} dimm properties tools/testing/nvdimm: add virtual ramdisk range acpi, nfit: treat virtual ramdisk SPA as pmem region pmem: kill __pmem address space pmem: kill wmb_pmem() libnvdimm, pmem: use nvdimm_flush() for namespace I/O writes fs/dax: remove wmb_pmem() libnvdimm, pmem: flush posted-write queues on shutdown ...

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe: "This branch also contains core changes. I've come to the conclusion that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch. We often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers when that happens. That said, this contains: - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from Christoph. - set of discard fixes, from Christoph. - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the op/flags change in the core branch. - map and append request fixes from Christoph. - NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph.

block: add QUEUE_FLAG_DAX for devices to advertise their DAX support

2016-07-21T03:01:01+00:00

Currently, presence of direct_access() in block_device_operations indicates support of DAX on its block device. Because block_device_operations is instantiated with 'const', this DAX capablity may not be enabled conditinally. In preparation for supporting DAX to device-mapper devices, add QUEUE_FLAG_DAX to request_queue flags to advertise their DAX support. This will allow to set the DAX capability based on how mapped device is composed.

s390/time: LPAR offset handling

2016-06-13T13:58:20+00:00

It is possible to specify a user offset for the TOD clock, e.g. +2 hours. The TOD clock will carry this offset even if the clock is synchronized with STP. This makes the time stamps acquired with get_sync_clock() useless as another LPAR migth use a different TOD offset. Use the PTFF instrution to get the TOD epoch difference and subtract it from the TOD clock value to get a physical timestamp. As the epoch difference contains the sync check delta as well the LPAR offset value to the physical clock needs to be refreshed after each clock synchronization. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Pull misc DAX updates from Vishal Verma: "DAX error handling for 4.7 - Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver. - The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1. Other misc changes: - When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent reads/writes would fail. - Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks" * tag 'dax-misc-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: dax: fix a comment in dax_zero_page_range and dax_truncate_page dax: for truncate/hole-punch, do zeroing through the driver if possible dax: export a low-level __dax_zero_page_range helper dax: use sb_issue_zerout instead of calling dax_clear_sectors dax: enable dax in the presence of known media errors (badblocks) dax: fallback from pmd to pte on error block: Update blkdev_dax_capable() for consistency xfs: Add alignment check for DAX mount ext2: Add alignment check for DAX mount ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount block: Add bdev_dax_supported() for dax mount checks block: Add vfs_msg() interface dax: Remove redundant inode size checks dax: Remove pointless writeback from dax_do_io() dax: Remove zeroing from dax_io() dax: Remove dead zeroing code from fault handlers ext2: Avoid DAX zeroing to corrupt data ext2: Fix block zeroing in ext2_get_blocks() for DAX dax: Remove complete_unwritten argument DAX: move RADIX_DAX_ definitions to dax.c
