[S390] dasd: prevent IO error during reserve/release loop

2011-05-10T15:13:42+00:00

The termination of running CQR caused by reserve/release operations
may lead to an IO error if reserve/release is done in a tight loop.
Prevent this by increasing the retry counter after termination.

[S390] irqstats: fix counting of pfault, dasd diag and virtio irqs

2011-04-29T08:42:25+00:00

pfault, dasd diag and virtio all use the same external interrupt number.
The respective interrupt handlers decide by the subcode if they are
meant to handle the interrupt.
Counting is currently done before looking at the subcode which means
each handler counts an interrupt even if it is not handling it.
Fix this by moving the kstat code after the code which looks at the
subcode.

[S390] dasd: check sense type in device change handler

2011-04-20T08:15:44+00:00

When evaluating sense data in dasd_eckd_check_for_device_change, we
must always check for the type of sense data in byte 27, bit 0, to
make sure that the rest of the sense data is interpreted correctly.

[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.

block: remove per-queue plugging

2011-03-10T07:52:07+00:00

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().
