Andreas Herrmann ad58f7dbeb [SCSI] zfcp: fix device registration issues
The patch fixes following issues:

(1) Replace scsi_add_device with scsi_scan_target.
(Thus the rport instead of the scsi_host becomes parent of a
scsi_target again.)

(2) Avoid scsi_device allocation during registration of an remote port.
(Would be done during fc_scsi_scan_rport.)

(3) Fix queuecommand behaviour when an zfcp unit is blocked.
(Call scsi_done with DID_NO_CONNECT instead of returning
SCSI_MLQUEUE_DEVICE_BUSY otherwise we might end up waiting
for completion in blk_execute_rq for ever.)

Horst Hummel 90f0094dc6 [PATCH] s390: dasd partition detection
DASD allows to open a device as soon as gendisk is registered, which means the
device is a fake device (capacity=0) and we do know nothing about blocksize
and partitions at that point of time.  In case the device is opened by
someone, the bdev and inode creation is done with the fake device info and the
following partition detection code is just using the wrong data.

To avoid this modify the DASD state machine to make sure that the open is
rejected until the device analysis is either finished or an unformatted device
was detected.

Frank Pavlic 15c7369178 [PATCH] s390: V=V qdio fixes
Using FCP devices with V=V support, the input queue stalled when CCQ 97 had
been returned in qdio_do_eqbs.  When this happen we have to reissue the eqbs
instruction.

Another bug was when V=V was enabled we checked if hardware has SIGA-sync
support.  If not we returned with 0 from tiqdio_is_inbound_q_done.  Thus qdio
lost initiative on FCP devices and input queue stalled.  Running devices in
V=V there is no SIGA-sync support but nevertheless we have to process
tiqdio_is_inbound_q_done either.

Peter Oberparleiter 25fab9ebac [PATCH] s390: fix sclp memory corruption in tty pages list
When the sclp interface takes very long to serve a request, the sclp core
driver will report a failed request to the sclp tty driver even though the
request is still being processed by the sclp interface.  Eventually the sclp
interface completes the request and updates some fields in the request buffer
which leads to a corrupted tty pages list.  The next time function
sclp_tty_write_room is called, the corrupted list will be traversed, resulting
in an oops.

To avoid this remove the busy retry limit and increase retry intervals.

Alan Cox 33f0f88f1c [PATCH] TTY layer buffering revamp
The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.

This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.

When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.

For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).

Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.

The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.

I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.

Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real.  That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.

Description:

tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification].  It
does now also return the number of chars inserted

There are also

tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)

which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found.  This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.

and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)

to insert a string of characters and flags

For a smart interface the usual code is

    len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
    tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);

More description!

At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty.  This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)

I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers.  This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.

So far so good.  Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*.  Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides.  This will all
break.  Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.

At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say

 int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)

Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero).  At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative.  (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space.  The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.

 int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)

As before insert a character if there is room.  Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.

 int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)

Insert a block of non error characters.  Returns the number inserted.

 int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)

Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added.  Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available.  This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

Christoph Hellwig 7ff92053dd [PATCH] don't include ioctl32.h in drivers
These days ioctl32.h is only used for communication of fs/compat.c and
fs/compat_ioctl.c and doesn't contain anything of interest to drivers.

Remove inclusion in various drivers.

Christoph Hellwig 8262037f40 [PATCH] add ->compat_ioctl to dasd
Add a compat_ioctl method to the dasd driver so the last entries in
arch/s390/kernel/compat_ioctl.c can go away.  Unlike the previous attempt this
one does not replace the ioctl method with an unlocked_ioctl method so that
the ioctl_by_bdev calls in s390 partition code continue to work.
