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.

<content type='text'>
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.

Pull more s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Fix KMSAN build breakage caused by the conflict between s390 and
   mm-stable trees

 - Add KMSAN page markers for ptdump

 - Add runtime constant support

 - Fix __pa/__va for modules under non-GPL licenses by exporting
   necessary vm_layout struct with EXPORT_SYMBOL to prevent linkage
   problems

 - Fix an endless loop in the CF_DIAG event stop in the CPU Measurement
   Counter Facility code when the counter set size is zero

 - Remove the PROTECTED_VIRTUALIZATION_GUEST config option and enable
   its functionality by default

 - Support allocation of multiple MSI interrupts per device and improve
   logging of architecture-specific limitations

 - Add support for lowcore relocation as a debugging feature to catch
   all null ptr dereferences in the kernel address space, improving
   detection beyond the current implementation's limited write access
   protection

 - Clean up and rework CPU alternatives to allow for callbacks and early
   patching for the lowcore relocation

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
     but are getting closer.

   - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection

   - arch_topology minor changes

   - other minor driver core cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
  reported problems"

Removing the CONFIG_PROTECTED_VIRTUALIZATION_GUEST ifdefs and config
option as well as CONFIG_KVM ifdefs in uv files.

Having this configurable has been more of a pain than a help.
It's time to remove the ifdefs and the config option.
