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.

The pagetable walk usercopy functions have used a modified copy of the do_exception() function for fault handling. This lead to inconsistencies with recent changes to do_exception(), e.g. performance counters. This patch changes the pagetable walk usercopy code to call do_exception() directly, eliminating the redundancy. A new parameter is added to do_exception() to specify the fault address.

Slim down the do_exception function to handle only the fast path of a fault and move the exceptional cases into a new function. That slightly increases the performance of the fault handling.

notify_page_fault does a preempt_disable/preempt_enable for each fault generated by a kernel access to user space. If kprobes is not active that is unnecessary since the interrupts are not reenabled yet. To play safe repeat the kprobe_running check after preempt_disable().

Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values: 1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0 2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0 3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1 They get replaced by 1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE 2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE 3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets you choose the address space mode the user space processes should use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option is removed. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

A data access in access-register mode always is a user mode access, the code to inspect the access-registers can be removed. The second change is to use a different test to check for no-execute fault. The third change is to pass the translation exception identification as parameter, in theory the trans_exc_code in the lowcore could have been overwritten by the time the call to check_space from do_no_context is done.

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!

Improve error recovery for internal I/Os by repeating each I/O 256 times per path to cope with long-running non-permanent error conditions. Also retry each path twice to cope with link flapping, i.e. single paths becoming unavailable in the order in which they are tried.

Try to disable the old subchannel before we ask the driver core to move the attached device to a new parent. This way we can use the QUIESCE state during shutdown which prevents a possible use after free situation in some error cases.

DEV_STATE_QUIESCE is used to stop all IO on a busy subchannel. This patch fixes the following problems related to the QUIESCE state: * Fix a potential race condition which could occur when the resulting state was DEV_STATE_OFFLINE. * Add missing locking around cio_disable_subchannel, ccw_device_cancel_halt_clear and the cdev's handler. * Loop until we know for sure that the subchannel is disabled.

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.

We used to maintain a "registered" flag in our ccw_device_private structure. 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.

Set-pgid operations fail for some device types under z/VM for which the hypervisor has already set the pgid. Also reserved devices or changed pgids are not correctly recognized.

Change the initiative to update subchannel-ccw device associations to the subchannel: when there is an indication that the internal association no longer reflects the current hardware state, mark each affected subchannel as requiring attention. Once processing reaches a subchannel, determine the correct association for that subchannel at that time and perform the necessary device_move operations. This change fixes problems with the previous approach which would leave devices in an inconsistent state when a new hardware change occurred while a device_move was already scheduled.

When the kernel is IPLed without the CLEAR option and switches to 64-bit, the high-order half of the registers might contain random values. This can cause addressing exceptions and the kernel enters an interrupt loop. Initialize the high-order half of the general purpose registers with zeros after switching to 64-bit mode.
