s390/dasd: Add new ioctl to release space
Userspace tools might have the need to release space for Extent Space Efficient (ESE) volumes when working with such a device. Provide the necessarry interface for such a task by implementing a new ioctl BIODASDRAS. The ioctl uses the format_data_t data structure for data input: typedef struct format_data_t { unsigned int start_unit; /* from track */ unsigned int stop_unit; /* to track */ unsigned int blksize; /* sectorsize */ unsigned int intensity; } format_data_t; If the intensity is set to 0x40, start_unit and stop_unit are ignored and space for the entire volume is released. Otherwise, if intensity is set to 0, the respective range is released (if possible).
