Stefan Weinhuber c7a29e56f0 [S390] dasd: check sense type in device change handler
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.

If a DASD device has been reserved by a Linux system, and later
this reservation is ‘stolen’ by a second system by means of an
unconditional reserve, then the first system receives a
notification about this fact. With this patch such an event can
be either ignored, as before, or it can be used to let the device
fail all I/O request, so that the device will not block anymore.

Stefan Weinhuber a5a0061fb3 [S390] dasd: fix unsolicited interrupt recognition
The dasd interrupt handler needs to distinguish solicited from
unsolicited interrupts, as unsolicited interrupts may require special
handling (e.g. summary unit checks) and solicited interrupts require
proper error recovery for the failed I/O request.
The interrupt handler needs to check several bit fields in the
interrupt response block (irb) to make this distinction.
So far our check of the status control bits has not been specific
enough, which may lead to a failed request getting just retried
instead of the necessary error recovery.

Stefan Weinhuber f932bcea6b [S390] dasd: allocate fallback cqr for reserve/release
The DASD reserve and release ioctls use the preallocated memory pool
of the respective device to build their CCW requests. However, when
the device is busy, the pool may already be empty and the ioctl fails.
Usually this can be recovered by calling the ioctl again, but in
a situation in which we need to issue an unconditional reserve to
make a device operational again, this would be not recoverable.
To avoid a failure due to lack of memory, DASD device driver will
preallocate enough memory for a single reserve/release request, which
can be used if normal allocation fails.

Stefan Weinhuber eb6e199bef [S390] dasd: improve error recovery for internal I/O
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.

Stefan Haberland 6fca97a958 [S390] dasd: fix race condition in resume code
There is a race while re-reading the device characteristics. After
cleaning the memory area a cqr is build which reads the device
characteristics. This may take a rather long time and the device
characteristics structure is zero during this. Now it could be
possible that the block tasklet starts working and a new cqr will be
build. The build_cp command refers to the device characteristics
structure and this may lead into a divide by zero exception.
Fix this by re-reading the device characteristics into a temporary
structur and copy the data to the original structure. Also take the
ccwdev_lock.

Stefan Weinhuber 68d1e5f08b [S390] dasd: tolerate devices that have no feature codes
The DASD device driver reads the feature codes of a device during
device initialization. These codes are later used to determine the
availability of advanced features like PAV or High Performance FICON.
Some very old devices do not support the command to read feature
codes and the initialization routine fails.
As the feature codes are not necessary for basic DASD operations, we
can support such devices by just ignoring missing feature codes.

Stefan Weinhuber f3eb5384cf [S390] dasd: add High Performance FICON support
To support High Performance FICON, the DASD device driver has to
translate I/O requests into the new transport mode control words (TCW)
instead of the traditional (command mode) CCW requests.

Stefan Weinhuber b44b0ab3ba [S390] dasd: add large volume support
The dasd device driver will now support ECKD devices with more then
65520 cylinders.
In the traditional ECKD adressing scheme each track is addressed
by a 16-bit cylinder and 16-bit head number. The new addressing
scheme makes use of the fact that the actual number of heads is
never larger then 15, so 12 bits of the head number can be redefined
to be part of the cylinder address.

Jean-Baptiste Joret f9a28f7bc5 [S390] dasd_eckd / Write format R0 is now allowed BB
Permission is now granted to the subsystem to format write R0 with:
* an ID = CCHHR, where CC = physical cylinder number,
  HH = physical head number, and R = 0
* a key length of zero
* a data length of eight
* a data field containing all zeros

Holger Smolinski 13de227bcd [S390] dasd: add device attribute to disable blocking on lost paths
When the connection between host and storage server is lost, the
dasd device driver usually blocks all I/O on affected devices and
waits for them to reappear. In some setups however it would be
better if the I/O is returned as error so that device can be
recovered by some other means, eg. in a raid or multipath setup.
