commit dbdf1afcaaabe83dea15a3cb9b9013e73ae3b1ad upstream.

Put sysfs attributes of ccwgroup devices in an attribute group to
ensure that these attributes are actually present when userspace
is notified via uevents.

This patch replaces the code for getting an unsigned long from a
userspace buffer by a simple call to kstroul_from_user.
This makes it easier to read and less error prone.

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] qdio: 2nd stage retry on SIGA-W busy conditions</title>

<id>be8d97a540cec5d272b1e08e27741a3c3aa38f66</id>
<content type='text'>
The SIGA-W may return with the busy bit set which means the device was
blocked. The busy loop which retries the SIGA-W for 100us may not be
long enough when running under a heavily loaded hypervisor.

Extend the retry mechanism by adding a longer second stage which retries
the SIGA-W for up to 10s. In difference to the first retry loop the second
stage is using mdelay to stop the cpu between the retries and thereby
avoid additional preassure in on the hypervisor.
If the second stage retry is successfull a device reset is avoided.
