BKL: remove extraneous #include

2010-11-17T16:59:32+00:00

The big kernel lock has been removed from all these files at some point,
leaving only the #include.

Remove this too as a cleanup.

[S390] dasd: provide a Sense Path Group ID ioctl

2010-10-29T14:50:50+00:00

The BIODASDSNID ioctl executes a 'Sense Path Group ID'
command on a DASD ECKD device. The returned path group data
allows user space programs to determine path state and
path group ID of the channel paths to the device.

[S390] dasd: ignore unsolicited interrupts for DIAG

2010-10-25T14:10:21+00:00

For the DASD DIAG discipline IO is started through special diagnose
calls. Unsolicited interrupts may contain information about the device
itself. But this information is not needed because the device is not
used directly.
Fix the case that an unimplemented dicipline function may be called
by ignoring unsolicited interrupts for the DIAG disciplin.

[S390] dasd: fix unsolicited interrupt recognition

2010-10-25T14:10:20+00:00

The dasd interrupt handler needs to distinguish solicited from
unsolicited interrupts, as unsolicited interrupts may require special
handling (e.g. summary unit checks) and solicited interrupts require
proper error recovery for the failed I/O request.
The interrupt handler needs to check several bit fields in the
interrupt response block (irb) to make this distinction.
So far our check of the status control bits has not been specific
enough, which may lead to a failed request getting just retried
instead of the necessary error recovery.

[S390] dasd: fix use after free in dbf

2010-10-25T14:10:20+00:00

Writing to /proc/dasd/statistics while the debug level of the
generic dasd debug entry is set to DBF_DEBUG will lead to an
use after free when accessing the debug entry later.
Since for the format string "%s" in the s390 dbf only a pointer
to the string is stored in the debug feature and the buffer used
here is freed afterwards.

To fix this just remove the debug message.

[S390] cleanup lowcore access from external interrupts

2010-10-25T14:10:19+00:00

level interrupt handler in entry[64].S.

[S390] dasd fix dump_sense_dbf

2010-10-25T14:10:17+00:00

The dasd_eckd_dump_sense_dbf function uses a macro for s390 debug
feature that can handle up to 8 parameters (for the DASD device
driver).
Fix the function to use only the maximum number of parameters.

[S390] dasd: let recovery cqr inherit flags from failed cqr

2010-10-25T14:10:14+00:00

The usual way to recover a failed DASD ECKD request (cqr) is to create
a new request with an appropriate recovery CCW program.  Certain
features, e.g. failfast, can be enabled per request and are stored in
the requests flags. These flags have to be copied from the failed to
the recovery request, to let the recovery request use the same
features as the original one.
