commit 7b3cc67d4445995a025a4b55a7dc687b6829b4ca upstream.

Git commit 25f269f17316549e "[S390] qdio: EQBS retry after CCQ 96"
introduced a regression in regard to the zfcp data router.
Revoke the incorrect simplification of the function call arguments
for the qdio handler to make the zfcp hardware data router working
again.

This is applicable to 3.2+ kernels.

commit 048cd4e51d24ebf7f3552226d03c769d6ad91658 upstream.

The new is_compat_task() define for the !COMPAT case in
include/linux/compat.h conflicts with a similar define in
arch/s390/include/asm/compat.h.

This is the minimal patch which fixes the build issues.

<title>[SCSI] zfcp: return early from slave_destroy if slave_alloc returned early</title>

<content type='text'>
zfcp_scsi_slave_destroy erroneously always tried to finish its task
even if the corresponding previous zfcp_scsi_slave_alloc returned
early. This can lead to kernel page faults on accessing uninitialized
fields of struct zfcp_scsi_dev in zfcp_erp_lun_shutdown_wait. Take the
port field of the struct to determine if slave_alloc returned early.

This zfcp bug is exposed by 4e6c82b (in turn fixing f7c9c6b to be
compatible with 21208ae) which can call slave_destroy for a
corresponding previous slave_alloc that did not finish.

This patch is based on James Bottomley's fix suggestion in
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg55449.html.

<title>[S390] cio: provide fake irb for transport mode IO</title>

If a driver wants to do command mode IO while CIO is doing
online path verification we ignore this request and provide
a fake irb when we are done and the driver can do IO again.

For transport mode IO we have no such mechanism, giving the
driver no other chance then to retry the action until we are
done. This is not very reliable.

Provide a fake irb for transport mode IO as well.

When a driver requests to do IO, we will adjust the mask of
paths to be used to exclude varied offline paths.

Drivers trying to do IO solely on paths which are online but some
way defective may lack the information to do proper error handling.

There is no reason to allow the usage of known to be broken paths.
Thus restrict the paths a ccw driver can use for IO to a subset of
the paths cio found usable (this also excludes offline paths).

Using the generic css_schedule_eval to evaluate subchannels
while resuming from hibernation is very slow when used with
many devices. Provide a new evaluation trigger which exploits
css_sched_sch_todo and use this in the resume callback for
ccw devices.
