To use raw track access some special storage server commands are
needed. Older storage hardware may not support these commands.
So check if raw track access is possible while setting the DASD
online.

The size of the buffer that is used to store DASD statistics input
strings depends on the user input. If the input string is to large,
the write operation could fail with -ENOMEM. To avoid this, use
vmalloc instead of kmalloc.

<title>[S390] dasd: add enhanced DASD statistics interface</title>

<id>4fa52aa7a82f9226b3874a69816bda3af821f002</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch extends the DASD statistics to allow for a more detailed
analysis of DASD I/O operations. In particular we want the statistics
to provide answers to the following questions:
- How many requests used a PAV alias?
- How many requests used High Performance FICON?
- How do read request perform versus write requests?

The existing DASD statistics interface has several shortcomings
- The interface for global data is a formatted text table in procfs
  (/proc/dasd/statistics). The layout is meant for human readers and
  is not to easy to parse. If values get to large for the table
  layout, they get scaled down.
- The statistics which are collected per block device can be
  accessed via an ioctl interface, which can only be extended by
  defining a new ioctl.
- There is no statistics interface for individual PAV base and alias
  devices.

To overcome theses shortcomings we create a new DASD statistics
interface in debugfs. This interface will contain one entry for global
data, one per DASD block device, and one per DASD base and alias
device. Each file contains the statistic data in easy to parse
name/value and name/array pairs. The existing interfaces will remain
functional, but they will not be extended.

<content type='text'>
Interrupt sources like pfault, sclp, dasd_diag and virtio all use the
service signal external interrupt subclass mask in control register 0
to enable and disable the corresponding interrupt.
Because no reference counting is implemented each subsystem thinks it
is the only user of subclass and sets and clears the bit like it wants.
This leads to case that unloading the dasd diag module under z/VM
causes both sclp and pfault interrupts to be masked. The result will
be locked up system sooner or later.
Fix this by introducing a new way to set (register) and clear
(unregister) the service signal subclass mask bit in cr0.
Also convert all drivers.
