s390/dasd: Copy detected format information to secondary device

2026-03-19T15:15:26+00:00

commit 4c527c7e030672efd788d0806d7a68972a7ba3c1 upstream. During online processing for a DASD device an IO operation is started to determine the format of the device. CDL format contains specifically sized blocks at the beginning of the disk. For a PPRC secondary device no real IO operation is possible therefore this IO request can not be started and this step is skipped for online processing of secondary devices. This is generally fine since the secondary is a copy of the primary device. In case of an additional partition detection that is run after a swap operation the format information is needed to properly drive partition detection IO. Currently the information is not passed leading to IO errors during partition detection and a wrongly detected partition table which in turn might lead to data corruption on the disk with the wrong partition table. Fix by passing the format information from primary to secondary device.

s390/dasd: Move quiesce state with pprc swap

2026-03-19T15:15:26+00:00

commit 40e9cd4ae8ec43b107ed2bff422a8fa39dcf4e4b upstream. Quiesce and resume is a mechanism to suspend operations on DASD devices. In the context of a controlled copy pair swap operation, the quiesce operation is usually issued before the actual swap and a resume afterwards. During the swap operation, the underlying device is exchanged. Therefore, the quiesce flag must be moved to the secondary device to ensure a consistent quiesce state after the swap. The secondary device itself cannot be suspended separately because there is no separate block device representation for it.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Allow creaing nbcon console drivers with an unsafe write_atomic() callback that can only be called by the final nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe(). Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread. It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-nbcon-v1-2-503d17b2b4af@debian.org Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI context. But some networking drivers are not safe even in IRQ context: https://lore.kernel.org/r/oc46gdpmmlly5o44obvmoatfqo5bhpgv7pabpvb6sjuqioymcg@gjsma3ghoz35 In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway. - Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer. - Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block the suspend. - Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot. - Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the ownership in the middle of a record - Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB - Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where possible - Misc code clean up * tag 'printk-for-6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: (48 commits) printk: Use console_is_usable on console_unblank arch: um: kmsg_dump: Use console_is_usable drivers: serial: kgdboc: Drop checks for CON_ENABLED and CON_BOOT lib/vsprintf: Unify FORMAT_STATE_NUM handlers printk: Avoid irq_work for printk_deferred() on suspend printk: Avoid scheduling irq_work on suspend printk: Allow printk_trigger_flush() to flush all types tracing: Switch to use %ptSp scsi: snic: Switch to use %ptSp scsi: fnic: Switch to use %ptSp s390/dasd: Switch to use %ptSp ptp: ocp: Switch to use %ptSp pps: Switch to use %ptSp PCI: epf-test: Switch to use %ptSp net: dsa: sja1105: Switch to use %ptSp mmc: mmc_test: Switch to use %ptSp media: av7110: Switch to use %ptSp ipmi: Switch to use %ptSp igb: Switch to use %ptSp e1000e: Switch to use %ptSp ...

s390/dasd: Use scnprintf() instead of sprintf()

2025-11-26T17:14:17+00:00

Use scnprintf() instead of sprintf() for those cases where the destination is an array and the size of the array is known at compile time. This prevents theoretical buffer overflows, but also avoids that people again and again spend time to figure out if the code is actually safe.

s390/dasd: Move device name formatting into separate function

2025-11-26T17:14:17+00:00

The device name formatting can be generalized and made more readable compared to the current state. SCSI already provides a generalized way to format many devices in the same naming scheme as DASD does, which was introduced with commit 3e1a7ff8a0a7 ("block: allow disk to have extended device number"). Use this much cleaner code from drivers/scsi/sd.c to handle the legacy naming scheme in DASD as a replacement for the current implementation. For easier error handling for the new function, move the gendisk free portion of dasd_gendisk_free() out into a new function dasd_gd_free().

s390/dasd: Remove unnecessary debugfs_create() return checks

2025-11-26T17:14:17+00:00

The DASD driver only uses the dentry pointers when removing debugfs entries, and debugfs_remove() can safely handle both NULL and ERR_PTR. There is therefore no need to check debugfs_create() return values. This simplifies the debugfs setup code without changing functionality.

s390/dasd: Fix gendisk parent after copy pair swap

2025-11-26T17:14:16+00:00

After a copy pair swap the block device's "device" symlink points to the secondary CCW device, but the gendisk's parent remained the primary, leaving /sys/block/ under the wrong parent. Move the gendisk to the secondary's device with device_move(), keeping the sysfs topology consistent after the swap.

s390: Remove KMSG_COMPONENT macro

2025-11-24T10:45:21+00:00

The KMSG_COMPONENT macro is a leftover of the s390 specific "kernel message catalog" which never made it upstream. Remove the macro in order to get rid of a pointless indirection. Replace all users with the string it defines. In almost all cases this leads to a simple replacement like this: - #define KMSG_COMPONENT "appldata" - #define pr_fmt(fmt) KMSG_COMPONENT ": " fmt + #define pr_fmt(fmt) "appldata: " fmt Except for some special cases this is just mechanical/scripted work.
