  • Both css_evaluate_new_subchannel and cio_validate_subchannel used
    stsch and css_sch_is_valid to check for a valid device.

    Reduce stsch calls during subchannel evaluation by re-using schib
    data. Also the type/devno valid information is only checked once.

  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • Obtain the real channel subsystem id and use that for the generation
    of a unique path group id. Note that this change does not affect the
    channel subsystem id as used in the user-visible naming of subchannels
    and friends.

  • Currently the cssid in various structures is used as the id of
    the respective channel subsystem. Sometimes however we call the
    index in the channel_subsystems array cssid. In some places the
    id is even used as the index.

    Provide a new define MAX_CSS_IDX and use it where appropriate.
    In addition to that provide a dummy function to find a channel
    subsystem by its id and a macro to iterate over the channel
    subsystems.
