DASD path verification requires the usage of sleep_on_immediatly to
ensure that no other I/O request is blocking the recovery of
disconnected devices. But two concurrent path verification workers for
the same device may kill each others requests due to the usage of the
immediate sleep_on function. This may lead to unsuccessful path
verifications.
Prevent that two parallel path verification workers conflict with
each other by implementing a device flag signalling a already running
worker.

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'.

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.

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.

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.

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).
