2010-01-07claw: use "claw" as root device nameUrsula Braun
Claw module cannot be loaded together with qeth, because "qeth" has been errorneously used as root device name. It is changed into "claw". Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ursula.braun@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-12-07[S390] zcrypt: special command support for cex3 exploitationFelix Beck
Support for special command is implemented in the AP Bus in the NQAP function __ap_send. This is extended for a further parameter special. When set, the special bit, in GR0 will be set. Therefor the ap_message struct is extended for a further bit. Thus calling functions of __ap_send can use the special parameter in ap_message to give to __ap_send. Affected is in the first place ap_queue_message, which is called by the actual card driver. The second part of this support is that the card driver for the CEX3C needs to set this special bit, when an according CPRB is sent to the driver.

2009-12-07[S390] dasd: let device initialization wait for LCU setupStefan Weinhuber
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.

2009-12-07[S390] dasd: improve error recovery for internal I/OStefan Weinhuber
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.

2009-12-07[S390] dasd: enable prefix independent of pav supportStefan Weinhuber
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.

2009-12-07[S390] dasd: support DIAG access for read-only devicesStefan Weinhuber
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.

2009-12-07[S390] cio: dont unregister a busy device in ccw_device_set_offlineSebastian Ott
If we detect a busy subchannel after the driver's set_offline callback returned in ccw_device_set_offline, the current behavior is to unregister the device, which may lead to undesired consequences. Change this to just quiesce the subchannel and go on with the offline processing. Note: This is no excuse for not fixing these drivers - after the set_offline callback they should have no running IO!

2009-12-07[S390] cio: add per device initialization status flagSebastian Ott
The function ccw_device_unregister has to ensure to remove all references obtained by device_add and device_initialize. Unfortunately it gets called for devices which are 1) uninitialized, 2) initialized but unregistered, and 3) registered devices. To distinguish 1) and 2) this patch introduces a new flag "initialized", which is 1 as long as we hold the initial device reference.

This patch removes the "registered" flag and converts all users of it to device_is_registered which has the exact same meaning. Note: The usage the atomic operation test_and_clear_bit is replaced by the non-atomic if (device_is_registered()) device_del(). This will not do harm, since we serialize calls to ccw_device_unregister with a single-threaded workqueue.
