[ Upstream commit 8c58a229688ce3a097b3b1a2efe1b4f5508c2123 ]

Starting with commit 2297791c92d0 ("s390/cio: dont unregister
subchannel from child-drivers"), CIO does not unregister subchannels
when the attached device is invalid or unavailable. Instead, it
allows subchannels to exist without a connected device. However, if
the DNV value is 0, such as, when all the CHPIDs of a subchannel are
configured in standby state, the subchannel is unregistered, which
contradicts the current subchannel specification.

Update the logic so that subchannels are not unregistered based
on the DNV value. Also update the SCHIB information even if the
DNV bit is zero.

<title>s390/ap: Fix CCA crypto card behavior within protected execution environment</title>

[ Upstream commit 78f636e82b2288462498e235dc5a886426ce5dd7 ]

A crypto card comes in 3 flavors: accelerator, CCA co-processor or
EP11 co-processor. Within a protected execution environment only the
accelerator and EP11 co-processor is supported. However, it is
possible to set up a KVM guest with a CCA card and run it as a
protected execution guest. There is nothing at the host side which
prevents this. Within such a guest, a CCA card is shown as "illicit"
and you can't do anything with such a crypto card.

Regardless of the unsupported CCA card within a protected execution
guest there are a couple of user space applications which
unconditional try to run crypto requests to the zcrypt device
driver. There was a bug within the AP bus code which allowed such a
request to be forwarded to a CCA card where it is finally
rejected and the driver reacts with -ENODEV but also triggers an AP
bus scan. Together with a retry loop this caused some kind of "hang"
of the KVM guest. On startup it caused timeouts and finally led the
KVM guest startup fail. Fix that by closing the gap and make sure a
CCA card is not usable within a protected execution environment.

Another behavior within an protected execution environment with CCA
cards was that the se_bind and se_associate AP queue sysfs attributes
where shown. The implementation unconditional always added these
attributes. Fix that by checking if the card mode is supported within
a protected execution environment and only if valid, add the attribute
group.

commit dee3df68ab4b00fff6bdf9fc39541729af37307c upstream.

According to the VT220 specification the possible character combinations
sent on RETURN are only CR or CRLF [0].

	The Return key sends either a CR character (0/13) or a CR
	character (0/13) and an LF character (0/10), depending on the
	set/reset state of line feed/new line mode (LNM).

The sclp/vt220 driver however uses LFCR. This can confuse tools, for
example the kunit runner.

commit 0d9dc27df22d9b5c8dc7185c8dddbc14f5468518 upstream.

On reboot the SCLP interface is deactivated through a reboot notifier.
This happens before other components using SCLP have the chance to run
their own reboot notifiers.
Two of those components are the SCLP console and tty drivers which try
to flush the last outstanding messages.
At that point the SCLP interface is already unusable and the messages
are discarded.

Execute sclp_deactivate() as late as possible to avoid this issue.

There is a possibility to deadlock with an recursive

state ("deconfig"). Then the initial pull of random data fails and

of an AP bus scan caused by the appearing new hardware.

The fix is relatively simple once the scenario us understood:
The AP bus force rescan function will immediately return if there
is currently an AP bus scan running with the very same thread id.

With the rework of the AP bus scan and the introduction of
a bindings complete completion also the timing until the
userspace finally receives a AP bus binding complete uevent
had increased. Unfortunately this event triggers some important
jobs for preparation of KVM guests, for example the modification
of card/queue masks to reassign AP resources to the alternate
AP queue device driver (vfio_ap) which is the precondition
for building mediated devices which may be a precondition for
starting KVM guests using AP resources.

This small fix now triggers the check for binding complete
each time an AP device driver has registered. With this patch
the bindings complete may be posted up to 30s earlier as there
is no need to wait for the next AP bus scan any more.

Extent Space Efficient (ESE) or thin provisioned volumes need to be
formatted on demand during usual IO processing.

The dasd_ese_needs_format function checks for error codes that signal
the non existence of a proper track format.

The check for incorrect length is to imprecise since other error cases
leading to transport of insufficient data also have this flag set.
This might lead to data corruption in certain error cases for example
during a storage server warmstart.

Fix by removing the check for incorrect length and replacing by
explicitly checking for invalid track format in transport mode.

Also remove the check for file protected since this is not a valid
ESE handling case.

This reverts commit bc792884b76f ("s390/dasd: Establish DMA alignment").

Quoting the original commit:
    linux-next commit bf8d08532bc1 ("iomap: add support for dma aligned
    direct-io") changes the alignment requirement to come from the block
    device rather than the block size, and the default alignment
    requirement is 512-byte boundaries. Since DASD I/O has page
    alignments for IDAW/TIDAW requests, let's override this value to
    restore the expected behavior.

I mentioned TIDAW, but that was wrong. TIDAWs have no distinct alignment
requirement (per p. 15-70 of POPS SA22-7832-13):

   Unless otherwise specified, TIDAWs may designate
   a block of main storage on any boundary and length
   up to 4K bytes, provided the specified block does not
   cross a 4 K-byte boundary.

IDAWs do, but the original commit neglected that while ECKD DASD are
typically formatted in 4096-byte blocks, they don't HAVE to be. Formatting
an ECKD volume with smaller blocks is permitted (dasdfmt -b xxx), and the
problematic commit enforces alignment properties to such a device that
will result in errors, such as:

   [test@host ~]# lsdasd -l a367 | grep blksz
     blksz:				512
   [test@host ~]# mkfs.xfs -f /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.a367-part1

   mkfs.xfs: Releasing dirty buffer to free list!
   found dirty buffer (bulk) on free list!
   mkfs.xfs: pwrite failed: Invalid argument
   ...snipped...

The original commit omitted the FBA discipline for just this reason,
but the formatted block size of the other disciplines was overlooked.
The solution to all of this is to revert to the original behavior,
such that the block size can be respected. There were two commits [1]
that moved this code in the interim, so a straight git-revert is not
possible, but the change is straightforward.

But what of the original problem? That was manifested with a direct-io
QEMU guest, where QEMU itself was changed a month or two later with
commit 25474d90aa ("block: use the request length for iov alignment")
such that the blamed kernel commit is unnecessary.
