e177685628 [S390] qdio (new feature): enhancing info-retrieval from QDIO-adapters
Next generation of OSA adapters allows retrieval of further self-describing
infos. This is the preparational infrastructure patch for further exploitation
in the qeth driver.

35b58b028d [S390] qdio: Unrecognized inbound traffic if many FCP devices are online
Problem:
Usually every FCP device has its own indicator field the adapter
uses to signal outstanding work. Once a certain limit of devices
is reached, a common indicator field is used. In certain scenarios
qdio resets this common indicator field, but handles only part of
the FCP-devices sharing the common indicator field. Thus inbound
traffic on the non-processed shared FCP-devices is not recognized
immediately.

Solution:
Make sure common indicator field is reset only, if all FCP-devices
sharing the indicator are processed.

b32ecdb725 [S390] qdio: fix qdio_activate timeout handling.
Current code in qdio_activate waits for at least 5 seconds
until it returns. It may return earlier if an error occurs,
but not if everything is ok. This large timeout value
became visible with commit dfa77f611f
"qdio: set QDIO_ACTIVATE_TIMEOUT to 5s", which intended to
fix the timeout value which was zero. In turn setting an
FCP adapter online took 5 seconds.

In practice waiting for 5ms before continuing is sufficient
as pointed out by Utz Bacher and Cornelia Huck.

bf3f837804 [S390] qdio: avoid hang when establishing qdio queues
If qdio establish runs in parallel with a channel error,
ccw_device_start_timeout may not trigger the qdio_timeout_handler.
In this case neither QDIO_IRQ_STATE_ESTABLISHED nor
QDIO_IRQ_STATE_ERR is reached and the following wait_event hangs
forever.
Solution: do not make use of the timeout option with
ccw_device_start, but add a timeout to the following wait_event.

37cd0a007f [S390] qdio: Refresh buffer states for IQDIO Asynchronous output queue
Hipersocket Multicast queue works asynchronously. When sending buffers,
the buffer state change may happen delayed. The tasklet for checking
changes in the outbound queue excluded IQDIO async queues from this
process. This created either a hang situation when the queue ran full,
or presented a hang situation a interface close time.
The tasklet processing is changed to include IQDIO async queues when
requesting buffer state refresh.

CCQ=96 was issued regardless whether buffer states for at least one

The slsb structure contained at the beginning of the qdio_q structure
must start on a 256 byte boundary. To make sure this is the case even

Besides that don't use the slab allocator to allocate whole pages. Use
the page allocator instead.
Also fix a few memory leaks in error handling code.

6cbed91ab7 [S390] qdio: output queue stall on FCP and network devices
When running QIOASSIST enabled qdio devices in a z/VM environment
the output queue for such devices stall in heavy workload situations.
When SQBS and EQBS instructions returns CCQ=96 qdio does not reissue
the instruction again with the register settings done by millicode
but processed the returned qdio buffer. This is wrong. qdio has to
reissue the instruction once again on CCQ=96, as we already do it
for CCQ=97.

4dd3cc5caf [S390] cio: Fixup interface for setting options on ccw devices.
The current ccw_device_set_options() sets a specified mask of options
and clears those not specified, but there is no way to find out which
options have already been set.

In order to fix this up, introduce the following interface changes:

ccw_device_set_options() now only sets the specified bits, but does
not clear those that are not specified.

ccw_device_clear_options() clears the specified bits.

ccw_device_set_options_mask() provides the old semantics (setting only
the specified bits and clearing the others).

Device drivers now work as expected. qdio has been adapted.

40ac6b204c [PATCH] s390: fix slab debugging
With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG=y networking over qeth doesn't work.  The problem is
that the qib structure embedded in the qeth_irq structure needs an alignment
of 256 but kmalloc only guarantees an alignment of 8.  When using SLAB
debugging the alignment of qeth_irq is not sufficient for the embedded qib
structure which causes all users of qdio (qeth and zfcp) to stop working.
Allocate qeth_irq structure with __get_free_page.  That wastes a small amount
of memory (~2500 bytes) per online adapter.

Another bug was when V=V was enabled we checked if hardware has SIGA-sync

lost initiative on FCP devices and input queue stalled.  Running devices in

New feature V=V qdio pass-through.

QDIO and HiperSockets processing in z/VM V=V guest environments (as well as
V=R with z/VM running in LPAR mode) requires shadowing of all QDIO
architecture queue elements.  Especially the shadowing of SBALs and SLSBs
structures in the hypervisor, and the need to issue SIGA SYNC operations to
observe state changes, eventually causes significant CPU processing overhead
in the hypervisor.

The QDIO pass-through support for V=V guests avoids the shadowing of SBALs and
SLSBs.  This significantly reduces the hypervisor overhead for QDIO based I/O.

`gcc -W' likes to complain if the static keyword is not at the beginning of
the declaration.  This patch fixes all remaining occurrences of "inline
static" up with "static inline" in the entire kernel tree (140 occurrences in
47 files).

While making this change I came across a few lines with trailing whitespace
that I also fixed up, I have also added or removed a blank line or two here
and there, but there are no functional changes in the patch.

66a464dbc8 [PATCH] s390: debug feature changes
This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature.
Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before.
Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due
to memory fragmentation.  Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several
subbuffers with pagesize.  Therefore it is now possible to allocate more
memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written.

In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is
implemented.  It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a
new debugfs file instance.  When writing a number into this file, the trace
buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'.

In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files
in the "proc" filesystem.  Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which
should be used for debugging purposes.  This patch moves the debug feature
from procfs to debugfs.

Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use
the debug feature had to be adjusted.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
