  • Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
    spaces from strings all over the tree.

    It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
    text data bss dec hex filename
    64688 584 592 65864 10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
    64641 584 592 65817 10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)

    Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
    remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
    evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
    "a char equals zero is never a space".

    and found occurrences of this pattern on 3 more files:

  • The first DASD that is set online for a specific logical control unit
    has to do certain setup steps on the storage server to make full use
    of it, for example it will enable PAV.
    The features and characteristics reported by the storage server will
    depend on this setup, so all other devices on the same LCU will need
    to wait for the setup to be finished.

  • 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.

  • The DASD device driver needs to explicitly enable the prefix command
    on the storage server, before it can be used. Originally we enabled
    this command along with others only if we wanted to support PAV.
    However, today we require this command for other features like
    High Performance FICON as well, so we need to always enable prefix.

  • When a DASD device is used with the DIAG discipline, the DIAG
    initialization will indicate success or error with a respective
    return code. So far we have interpreted a return code of 4 as error,
    but it actually means that the initialization was successful, but
    the device is read-only. To allow read-only devices to be used with
    DIAG we need to accept a return code of 4 as success.

    Re-initialization of the DIAG access is also part of the DIAG error
    recovery. If we find that the access mode of a device has been
    changed from writable to read-only while the device was in use,
    we print an error message.

  • Split setting (driver wants feature enabled) and status (feature
    setup was successful) for PGID related ccw device features so that
    setup errors can be detected. Previously, incorrectly handled setup
    errors could in rare cases lead to erratic I/O behavior and
    permanently unusuable devices.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Currently in the suspend process checksums for the XPRAM partitions are
    created and stored. During the resume process it is checked,
    if the checksums are still the same. If this is not the case, a kernel panic
    is triggered. Unfortunately this prevents XPRAM from beeing used as suspend
    device, because in this case after the checksum has been created, the
    memory image is written to XPRAM and therefore the contents of the suspend
    partition is changed. In order to allow XPRAM to be used as suspend device,
    this patch removes the checksum validation.

    * Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
    * Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
    It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

    This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config

  • To set a dasd online dasd_change_state is called twice. The first
    cycle will schedule initial analysis of the device, set the rc to
    -EAGAIN and will not touch the device state any more.
    The initial analysis will in turn call dasd_change_state to increase
    the state to the final DASD_STATE_ONLINE.

    If the dasd_change_state on the second thread outruns the other one
    both finish with the state set to DASD_STATE_ONLINE and the device
    refcount will be decreased by 2.

    Fix this by leaving dasd_change_state on rc == -EAGAIN so that the
    refcount will always be decreased by 1.

  • If a DASD requests is started with dasd_sleep_on and fails, then the
    calling function may need to know the reason for the failure.
    In cases of hardware errors it can inspect the sense data in the irb,
    but when the reason is internal (e.g. start_IO failed) then it needs
    a meaningfull return code.

  • Some functions called as a late_initcall depend on completely
    initialized devices. Since commit
    f3445a1a656bc26b07946cc6d20de1ef07c8d116 the dasd driver uses the
    new async framework and relies on the fact that synchronization is
    done in prepare_namespace which is called after the late_initcalls.

    Fix this by calling async_synchronize_full at the end of the related
    init functions.
