2017-01-31s390/dasd: Improve parameter list parsingJan Höppner1-1/+1
The function dasd_busid() still uses simple_strtoul() to convert a string to an integer value. This function is obsolete for quite some time already and should be replaced. The whole parameter parsing semantic still relies somewhat on the fact, that simple_strtoul() parses a string containing literals without complains and just returns the parsed integer value plus the residual string. kstrtoint(), however, would return -EINVAL in such a case. Since we want to get rid of simple_strtoul() and now have a nice dasd[] containing only single elements, we can clean up and simplify a few things. Replace simple_strtoul() with kstrtouint(), improve and simplify the overall parameter parsing by the following: - instead of residual strings return proper error codes - remove dasd_parse_next_element() and decide directly what sort of element is being parsed - if we parse a device or a range of devices, split that element into separate bits with a new function - remove warning about invalid ending as it doesn't apply anymore - annotate all parsing functions and data that can be freed after initialisation with __init and __initdata respectively - clean up bits and pieces while at it Reviewed-by: Stefan Haberland <sth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Sebastian Ott <sebott@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Höppner <hoeppner@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2016-12-12s390/dasd: channel path aware error recoveryStefan Haberland1-0/+68
With this feature, the DASD device driver more robustly handles DASDs that are attached via multiple channel paths and are subject to constant Interface-Control-Checks (IFCCs) and Channel-Control-Checks (CCCs) or loss of High-Performance-FICON (HPF) functionality on one or more of these paths. If a channel path does not work correctly, it is removed from normal operation as long as other channel paths are available. All extended error recovery states can be queried and reset via user space interfaces.

2016-09-26s390/dasd: fix panic during offline processingStefan Haberland1-0/+1
A DASD device consists of the device itself and a discipline with a corresponding private structure. These fields are set up during online processing right after the device is created and before it is processed by the state machine and made available for I/O. During offline processing the discipline pointer and the private data gets freed within the state machine and without protection of the existing reference count. This might lead to a kernel panic because a function might have taken a device reference and accesses the discipline pointer and/or private data of the device while this is already freed. Fix by freeing the discipline pointer and the private data after ensuring that there is no reference to the device left.

2016-03-17s390/dasd: reorder lcu and device lockStefan Haberland1-0/+2
Reorder lcu and device lock to get rid of the error-prone trylock mechanism. The locking order is lcu lock -> device lock. This protects against changes to the lcu device lists and enables us to iterate over the devices, take the cdev lock and make changes to the device structures. The complicated part is the summary unit check handler that gets an interrupt on one device of the lcu that leads to structural changes of the whole lcu itself. This work needs to be done even if devices on the lcu disappear. So a device independent worker is used. The old approach tried to update some lcu structures and set up the lcu worker in the interrupt context with the device lock held. But this forced the lock order "cdev lock -> lcu lock" that made it hard to have the lcu lock held and iterate over all devices and change them. The new approach is to schedule a device specific worker that gets out of the interrupt context and rid of the device lock for summary unit checks. This worker is able to take the lcu lock and schedule the lcu worker that updates all devices. The time between interrupt and worker execution is no problem because the devices in the lcu reject all I/O in this time with an appropriate error. The dasd driver can deal with this situation and re-drive the I/O later on. Signed-off-by: Stefan Haberland <sth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2015-08-09s390/dasd: fix failing path verificationStefan Haberland1-0/+1
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.

2013-07-01s390/dasd: Fail all requests when DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO is setHannes Reinecke1-0/+3
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 Weinhuber1-7/+50
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 Weinhuber1-0/+3
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.
