s390/dasd: Fix unresumed device after suspend/resume having no paths

2015-04-15T10:23:51+00:00

The DASD device driver prevents I/O from being started on stopped
devices. This also prevented channel paths to be verified and so
the device was unable to be resumed.
Fix by allowing path verification requests on stopped devices.

s390/dasd: fix unresumed device after suspend/resume

2015-04-15T10:23:51+00:00

The DASD device driver only has a limited amount of memory to build
I/O requests.
This memory was used by blocklayer requests leading to an inability
to build needed internal requests to resume the device.
Fix by preventing the DASD driver to fetch requests for a stopped
device.

s390/dasd: fix inability to set a DASD device offline

2015-04-15T10:23:50+00:00

Fix ref counting for DASD devices leading to an inability to set a
DASD device offline.
Before a worker is scheduled the DASD device driver takes a reference
to the device. If the worker was already scheduled this reference was
never freed.
Fix by giving the reference to the DASD device free when
schedule_work() returns false.

s390/dasd: remove setting of scheduler from driver

2015-03-25T10:49:40+00:00

Remove the hard coded scheduler for the DASD device driver to enable
change of the scheduler during runtime. Set recommended deadline
scheduler via additional udev rule.

s390: remove 31 bit support

2015-03-25T10:49:33+00:00

Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and
effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no
distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel.

The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before
anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel
shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e5826 ("s390: add 31 bit warning
message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit
code. We didn't get any response.

Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's
remove the code.
Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

s390/dcss: array index 'i' is used before limits check.

2015-02-26T08:24:48+00:00

s390/scm_block: fix off by one during cluster reservation

2015-02-26T08:24:47+00:00

We increase the msb_count after we're finished building the request.
That way we can always access the current request via
scmrq->request[msb_count] . But once the request is started we need
to make sure that the array index stays below msb_count.

Merge branch 'for-3.20/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2015-02-12T22:13:23+00:00

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains:

   - A series from Christoph that cleans up and refactors various parts
     of the REQ_BLOCK_PC handling.  Contributions in that series from
     Dongsu Park and Kent Overstreet as well.

   - CFQ:
        - A bug fix for cfq for realtime IO scheduling from Jeff Moyer.
        - A stable patch fixing a potential crash in CFQ in OOM
          situations.  From Konstantin Khlebnikov.

   - blk-mq:
        - Add support for tag allocation policies, from Shaohua. This is
          a prep patch enabling libata (and other SCSI parts) to use the
          blk-mq tagging, instead of rolling their own.
        - Various little tweaks from Keith and Mike, in preparation for
          DM blk-mq support.
        - Minor little fixes or tweaks from me.
        - A double free error fix from Tony Battersby.

   - The partition 4k issue fixes from Matthew and Boaz.

   - Add support for zero+unprovision for blkdev_issue_zeroout() from
     Martin"

s390/dasd: cleanup profiling

2015-01-29T08:19:29+00:00

The dasd driver has a lot of duplicated code to handle
dasd_global_profile. With this patch we use the same code for the
global and the per device profiling data. Note that dasd_stats_write
had to change slightly to maintain some odd differences between
A) per device and global profile and B) proc and sysfs interface
usage.

s390/dasd: add locking for global_profile access

2015-01-29T08:19:27+00:00

Access to DASDs global statistics is done without locking which
can lead to inconsistent data. Add locking to fix this. Also move
the relevant structs in a global dasd_profile struct.
