From 9d92a7e1b0d095c8be96ce5e592c6c5541684631 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cornelia Huck Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:59:05 +0200 Subject: [S390] cio: Add chsc subchannel driver. This patch adds a driver for subchannels of type chsc. A device /dev/chsc is created which may be used to issue ioctls to: - obtain information about the machine's I/O configuration - dynamically change the machine's I/O configuration via asynchronous chsc commands Signed-off-by: Cornelia Huck Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens --- arch/s390/Kconfig | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/s390') diff --git a/arch/s390/Kconfig b/arch/s390/Kconfig index a79820c3ab0..6d0d31651f0 100644 --- a/arch/s390/Kconfig +++ b/arch/s390/Kconfig @@ -345,6 +345,22 @@ config QDIO_DEBUG If unsure, say N. +config CHSC_SCH + tristate "Support for CHSC subchannels" + help + This driver allows usage of CHSC subchannels.
