s390: replace strict_strtoul() with kstrtoul()

2013-08-22T10:20:00+00:00

The usage of strict_strtoul() is not preferred, because
strict_strtoul() is obsolete. Thus, kstrtoul() should be
used.

s390/dasd: Add 'timeout' attribute

2013-07-01T15:31:25+00:00

This patch adds a 'timeout' attibute to the DASD driver.
When set to non-zero, the blk_timeout function will
be enabled with the timeout specified in the attribute.
Setting 'timeout' to '0' will disable block timeouts.

s390/dasd: make number of retries configurable

2013-07-01T15:31:17+00:00

Instead of having the number of retries hard-coded in the various
functions we should be using a default retry value, which can
be modified via sysfs.

s390/dasd: add safe offline interface

2012-11-30T14:40:44+00:00

The regular behavior of the DASD device driver when setting a device
offline is to return all outstanding I/O as failed. This behavior is
different from that of other System z operating systems and may lead
to unexpected data loss. Adding an explicit 'safe' offline function
will allow customers to use DASDs in the way they expect them to work.

s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names

2012-07-20T09:15:04+00:00

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

[S390] dasd: fix race between open and offline

2011-04-20T08:15:43+00:00

The dasd_open function uses the private_data pointer of the gendisk to
find the dasd_block structure that matches the gendisk. When a DASD
device is set offline, we set the private_data pointer of the gendisk
to NULL and later remove the dasd_block structure, but there is still
a small race window, in which dasd_open could first read a pointer
from the private_data field and then try to use it, after the structure
has already been freed.
To close this race window, we will store a pointer to the dasd_devmap
structure of the base device in the private_data field. The devmap
entries are not deleted, and we already have proper locking and
reference counting in place, so that we can safely get from a devmap
pointer to the dasd_device and dasd_block structures of the device.
