From 725b94d74128cd208bfdd446ad6b5f4b38cf5395 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jared Rossi Date: Wed, 6 May 2020 17:24:40 -0400 Subject: vfio-ccw: Enable transparent CCW IPL from DASD Remove the explicit prefetch check when using vfio-ccw devices. This check does not trigger in practice as all Linux channel programs are intended to use prefetch. It is expected that all ORBs issued by Linux will request prefetch. Although non-prefetching ORBs are not rejected, they will prefetch nonetheless. A warning is issued up to once per 5 seconds when a forced prefetch occurs. A non-prefetch ORB does not necessarily result in an error, however frequent encounters with non-prefetch ORBs indicate that channel programs are being executed in a way that is inconsistent with what the guest is requesting. While there is currently no known case of an error caused by forced prefetch, it is possible in theory that forced prefetch could result in an error if applied to a channel program that is dependent on non-prefetch.
