[S390] qdio: free indicator after reset is finished

2010-11-25T08:52:59+00:00

The qdio device indicator is freed before the device is notified that
the indicator is reset. This sequence contains a race when the freed
indicator is used by a new device while the reset of the indicator is
still pending. Do the reset operation before freeing the indicator to
avoid that potential race.

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.

SCSI host lock push-down

2010-11-16T21:33:23+00:00

Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation.  No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch.  All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
	struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
	void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.

Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change.  Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

[S390] vmlogrdr: purge after recording is switched off

2010-11-10T09:05:54+00:00

If automatic purge is enabled for a vmlogrdr device, old records are
purged before an IUCV recording service is switched on or off. If z/VM
generates a large number of records between purging and switching the
recording service off, these records remain queued, and may have a
negative performance impact on the z/VM system. To avoid this problem,
we need to purge the records after recording is switched off.

[S390] cio: fix incorrect ccw_device_init_count

2010-11-10T09:05:54+00:00

If device recognition is interrupted by a subchannel event
indicating that the device is gone, ccw_device_init_count
is not correctly decreased.

Fix this by reporting the corresponding event to the device
recognition callback via the state machine.

qeth: remove dev_queue_xmit invocation

2010-11-08T20:17:08+00:00

For a certain Hipersockets specific error code in the xmit path, the
qeth driver tries to invoke dev_queue_xmit again.
Commit 79640a4ca6955e3ebdb7038508fa7a0cd7fa5527 introduces a busylock
causing locking problems in case of re-invoked dev_queue_xmit by qeth.
This patch removes the attempts to retry packet sending with
dev_queue_xmit from the qeth driver.
