2019-06-15s390/cio: add basic protected virtualization supportHalil Pasic1-20/+29
As virtio-ccw devices are channel devices, we need to use the dma area within the common I/O layer for any communication with the hypervisor. Note that we do not need to use that area for control blocks directly referenced by instructions, e.g. the orb. It handles neither QDIO in the common code, nor any device type specific stuff (like channel programs constructed by the DASD driver). An interesting side effect is that virtio structures are now going to get allocated in 31 bit addressable storage.

2018-02-22s390/cio: clear timer when terminating driver I/OSebastian Ott1-0/+1
When we terminate driver I/O (because we need to stop using a certain channel path) we also need to ensure that a timer (which may have been set up using ccw_device_start_timeout) is cleared.

2018-02-22s390/cio: fix return code after missing interruptSebastian Ott1-2/+4
When a timeout occurs for users of ccw_device_start_timeout we will stop the IO and call the drivers int handler with the irb pointer set to ERR_PTR(-ETIMEDOUT). Sometimes however we'd set the irb pointer to ERR_PTR(-EIO) which is not intended. Just set the correct value in all codepaths.

2017-11-24s390: cio: add SPDX identifiers to the remaining filesGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the drivers/s390/cio/ files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

If a driver wants to do command mode IO while CIO is doing online path verification we ignore this request and provide a fake irb when we are done and the driver can do IO again.

2011-05-23[S390] cio: fix unreg race in set_online pathSebastian Ott1-2/+3
In ccw_device_set_online we basically start path verification and wait for the device to reach a final state. If it turns out that the device has no useable path we schedule the deregistration of the device (which is still in an non-final state) and wake up the waiting process. The deregistration process will set a final state, but if the wake up happens to be prior to this, the device will hang forever in ccw_device_set_online. To fix this just set the final NOT_OPER state prior to the scheduled deregistration of the device.

2010-10-25[S390] cio: fix I/O cancel functionPeter Oberparleiter1-2/+7
Function ccw_device_cancel_halt_clear may cause an unexpected kernel panic if a clear function is currently active at the subchannel for which it is called. In that case, the iretry counter used to determine the number of retries is never initialized, leading to an immediate failure of the function which results in a kernel panic. Fix this by initializing the iretry counter when the function is first called. Also replace the kernel panic with a return code: a single malfunctioning I/O device should not automatically cause a system-wide kernel panic.

If a unit check occurs while set online or set offline requests are processed then it might happen that the device's temporary W4SENSE state causes these functions to terminate, leaving the device in an inconsistent state when the state is set back to ONLINE later on so that the device cannot be set online or offline any longer.

2008-12-25[S390] cio: introduce cio_commit_configSebastian Ott1-5/+6
To change the configuration of a subchannel we alter the modifiable bits of the subchannel's schib field and issue a modify subchannel. There can be the case that not all changes were applied -or worse- quietly overwritten by the hardware. With the next store subchannel we obtain the current state of the hardware but lose our target configuration. With this patch we introduce a subchannel_config structure which contains the target subchannel configuration. Additionally the msch wrapper cio_modify is replaced with cio_commit_config which copies the desired changes to a temporary schib. msch is then called with the temporary schib. This schib is only written back to the subchannel if all changes were applied. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Ott <sebott@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
