2016-03-07s390/dasd: Simplify code in format logicJan Höppner
Currently, dasd_format is calling the format logic of a DASD discipline with PAV enabled. If that fails with an error code of -EAGAIN the value of retries is decremented and the discipline function is called with PAV turned off. The loop is supposed to try this up to 255 times until success. However, -EAGAIN can only occur once here and therefore the loop will never reach the 255 retries. So, replace the unnecessarily complicated loop logic and simply try again without PAV enabled in case of an -EAGAIN error.

2013-07-01s390/dasd: Fail all requests when DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO is setHannes Reinecke
Whenever a DASD request encounters a timeout we might need to abort all outstanding requests on this or even other devices. This is especially useful if one wants to fail all devices on one side of a RAID10 configuration, even though only one device exhibited an error. To handle this I've introduced a new device flag DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO. This flag is evaluated in __dasd_process_request_queue() and will invoke blk_abort_request() for all outstanding requests with DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST set. This will cause any of these requests to be aborted immediately if the blk_timeout function is activated. The DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO is also evaluated in __dasd_process_request_queue to abort all new request which would have the DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST bit set. The flag can be set with the new ioctls 'BIODASDABORTIO' and removed with 'BIODASDALLOWIO'.

2011-07-24[S390] dasd: add enhanced DASD statistics interfaceStefan Weinhuber
This patch extends the DASD statistics to allow for a more detailed analysis of DASD I/O operations. In particular we want the statistics to provide answers to the following questions: - How many requests used a PAV alias? - How many requests used High Performance FICON? - How do read request perform versus write requests? The existing DASD statistics interface has several shortcomings - The interface for global data is a formatted text table in procfs (/proc/dasd/statistics). The layout is meant for human readers and is not to easy to parse. If values get to large for the table layout, they get scaled down. - The statistics which are collected per block device can be accessed via an ioctl interface, which can only be extended by defining a new ioctl. - There is no statistics interface for individual PAV base and alias devices. To overcome theses shortcomings we create a new DASD statistics interface in debugfs. This interface will contain one entry for global data, one per DASD block device, and one per DASD base and alias device. Each file contains the statistic data in easy to parse name/value and name/array pairs. The existing interfaces will remain functional, but they will not be extended.

2011-04-20[S390] dasd: fix race between open and offlineStefan Weinhuber
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.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-12-07[S390] dasd: improve error recovery for internal I/OStefan Weinhuber
Most of the error conditions reported by a FICON storage server indicate situations which can be recovered. Sometimes the host just needs to retry an I/O request, but sometimes the recovery is more complex and requires the device driver to wait, choose a different path, etc. The DASD device driver has a fully featured error recovery for normal block layer I/O, but not for internal I/O request which are for example used during the device bring up. This can lead to situations where the IPL of a system fails because DASD devices are not properly recognized. This patch will extend the internal I/O handling to use the existing error recovery procedures.

2008-01-26[S390] dasd: add hyper PAV support to DASD device driver, part 1Stefan Weinhuber
Parallel access volumes (PAV) is a storage server feature, that allows to start multiple channel programs on the same DASD in parallel. It defines alias devices which can be used as alternative paths to the same disk. With the old base PAV support we only needed rudimentary functionality in the DASD device driver. As the mapping between base and alias devices was static, we just had to export an identifier (uid) and could leave the combining of devices to external layers like a device mapper multipath. Now hyper PAV removes the requirement to dedicate alias devices to specific base devices. Instead each alias devices can be combined with multiple base device on a per request basis. This requires full support by the DASD device driver as now each channel program itself has to identify the target base device. The changes to the dasd device driver and the ECKD discipline are: - Separate subchannel device representation (dasd_device) from block device representation (dasd_block). Only base devices are block devices. - Gather information about base and alias devices and possible combinations. - For each request decide which dasd_device should be used (base or alias) and build specific channel program. - Support summary unit checks, which allow the storage server to upgrade / downgrade between base and hyper PAV at runtime (support is mandatory).

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now. [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard sector size.

2005-09-05[PATCH] s390: deadlock in dasd_devmapHorst Hummel
Reintroduce a read-only copy of the devmap features in the device struct. This is necessary to solve a deadlock on the dasd_devmap_lock which is acquired by dasd_get_features called from the dasd tasklet. The current implementation of devmap doesn't allow to call any devmap function from interrupt or softirq context.

2005-05-01[PATCH] s390: dasd readonly attributeHorst Hummel
The independent read-only flags in devmap, dasd_device and gendisk are not kept in sync. Use one bit per feature in the dasd driver and keep that bit in sync with the gendisk bit.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
