[S390] New DASD feature for ERP related logging

2006-12-08T14:54:15Z

It is now possible to enable/disable ERP related logging without re-compile and re-ipl. A additional sysfs-attribute 'erplog' allows to switch the logging non-interruptive. Signed-off-by: Horst Hummel Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t

2006-12-07T16:39:25Z

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache. The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[S390] return 'count' for successful execution of dasd_eer_enable.

2006-12-04T14:40:18Z

Currently the return value of 'dasd_eer_enable' is returned - even if the function returned '0'. Now return 'count' for successful execution. Signed-off-by: Horst Hummel Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] handle incorrect values when writing to dasd sysfs attributes.

2006-12-04T14:39:50Z

When writing to dasd attributes (e.g. readonly), all values besides '1' are handled like '0'. Other sysfs-attributes like 'online' are checking for '1' and for '0' and do not accept other values. Therefore enhanced checking and error handling in dasd_devmap attribute store functions. Signed-off-by: Horst Hummel Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] Replace nopav-message on VM.

2006-09-20T13:59:52Z

Specifying kernel parameter "dasd=nopav" on systems running under VM has no function but results in message "disable PAV mode". Correct message is "'nopav' not supported on VM". Signed-off-by: Peter Oberparleiter Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] dasd deadlock after state change pending interrupt.

2006-09-20T13:59:05Z

The dasd_device_from_cdev function is called from interrupt context to get the struct dasd_device associated with a ccw device. The driver_data of the ccw device points to the dasd_devmap structure which contains the pointer to the dasd_device structure. The lock that protects the dasd_devmap structure is acquire with out irqsave. To prevent the deadlock in dasd_device_from_cdev if it is called from interrupt context the dependency to the dasd_devmap structure needs to be removed. Let the driver_data of the ccw device point to the dasd_device structure directly and use the ccw device lock to protect the access. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] dasd PAV enabling.

2006-08-24T11:22:36Z

The subsystem check in the PAV code is incorrect, it enables PAV per device instead of per subsystem. Signed-off-by: Horst Hummel Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] inaccessible PAV alias devices on LPAR.

2006-08-16T11:49:33Z

In some situations PAV alias devices on LPAR are not accessible. The initialization procedure required to enable access to PAV alias devices has to be performed per storage server subsystem and not only once per storage server. Signed-off-by: Peter Oberparleiter Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] dasd slab cache alignment.

2006-08-16T11:49:27Z

The dasd_page_cache should return page addresses and therefore the cache must be created with an alignment of PAGE_SIZE. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] dasd calls kzalloc while holding a spinlock.

2006-08-10T13:45:16Z

The dasd function dasd_set_uid calls kzalloc while holding the dasd_devmap_lock. Rearrange the code to do the memory allocation outside the lock. Signed-off-by: Horst Hummel Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
