Any recovery thread will deadlock when calling qeth_wait_for_threads(), most
notably when triggering a recovery on an OSN device.
This patch will store the recovery thread's task pointer on recovery
invocation and check in qeth_wait_for_threads() respectively to avoid
deadlocks.

The current location for mapping virtio devices does not take
into consideration the standby memory. This causes the failure
of mapping standby memory since the location for the mapping is
already taken by the virtio devices. To fix the problem, we move
the location to beyond the end of standby memory.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq into for-3.10/core
Tejun writes:
-----
This is the pull request for the earlier patchset[1] with the same
name. It's only three patches (the first one was committed to
workqueue tree) but the merge strategy is a bit involved due to the
dependencies.
* Because the conversion needs features from wq/for-3.10,
block/for-3.10/core is based on rc3, and wq/for-3.10 has conflicts
with rc3, I pulled mainline (rc5) into wq/for-3.10 to prevent those
workqueue conflicts from flaring up in block tree.
* Resolving the issue that Jan and Dave raised about debugging
requires arch-wide changes. The patchset is being worked on[2] but
it'll have to go through -mm after these changes show up in -next,
and not included in this pull request.
The three commits are located in the following git branch.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git writeback-workqueue
Pulling it into block/for-3.10/core produces a conflict in
drivers/md/raid5.c between the following two commits.
e3620a3ad5 ("MD RAID5: Avoid accessing gendisk or queue structs when not available")
2f6db2a707 ("raid5: use bio_reset()")
The conflict is trivial - one removes an "if ()" conditional while the
other removes "rbi->bi_next = NULL" right above it. We just need to
remove both. The merged branch is available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git block-test-merge
so that you can use it for verification. The test merge commit has
proper merge description.
While these changes are a bit of pain to route, they make code simpler
and even have, while minute, measureable performance gain[3] even on a
workload which isn't particularly favorable to showing the benefits of
this conversion.

The 3270 device nodes 227/0 and 228/0 are special. 227/0 is never used,
and 228/0 is used to redirect full screen applications from /dev/3270/tub
to the real device node of the 3270 terminal.
To keep the device names /dev/3270/tty<x> consistent with the minor number
the device driver sets minor_start to 0 and skips minor 0. That makes the
tty index equivalent to the minor number. But doing so seems to causes
problems with init scripts.
A better solution is to set minor_start to the correct value of 1 and
set name_base to 1 as well. tty_register_device will then automatically
create the correct tty name.

If a block device driver cannot fetch all requests from the blocklayer
it's in his responsibility to call the request function at a later time.
Normally this would be done after the next irq for the underlying device
is handled. However in situations where we have no outstanding request
we have to schedule the request function for a later time.
This is determined using an internal counter of requests issued to the
hardware.
In some cases where we give a request back to the block layer unhandled
the number of queued requests was not adjusted. Fix this class of
failures by adjusting queued_requests in all functions used to give
a request back to the block layer.

The s390 architecture is unique in respect to dirty page detection,
it uses the change bit in the per-page storage key to track page
modifications. All other architectures track dirty bits by means
of page table entries. This property of s390 has caused numerous
problems in the past, e.g. see git commit ef5d437f71afdf4a
"mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390".
To avoid future issues in regard to per-page dirty bits convert
s390 to a fault based software dirty bit detection mechanism. All
user page table entries which are marked as clean will be hardware
read-only, even if the pte is supposed to be writable. A write by
the user process will trigger a protection fault which will cause
the user pte to be marked as dirty and the hardware read-only bit
is removed.
With this change the dirty bit in the storage key is irrelevant
for Linux as a host, but the storage key is still required for
KVM guests. The effect is that page_test_and_clear_dirty and the
related code can be removed. The referenced bit in the storage
key is still used by the page_test_and_clear_young primitive to
provide page age information.
For page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty
there will not be any change in behavior as the dirty bit tracking
already uses read-only ptes to control the amount of dirty pages.
Only for swap cache pages and pages of mappings without
mapping_cap_account_dirty there can be additional protection faults.
To avoid an excessive number of additional faults the mk_pte
primitive checks for PageDirty if the pgprot value allows for writes
and pre-dirties the pte. That avoids all additional faults for
tmpfs and shmem pages until these pages are added to the swap cache.

When the DASD devices are detached from the driver, then the
dasd_generic_remove function is called. One of the things this
function should do is to remove the DASD specific sysfs attributes,
but this is not done in all cases. This is likely to cause an oops
when at a later point sysfs stumbles over the stale pointers. In
particular this happens when when the modules are unloaded and loaded
again.

When an attempt to query or modify the grouping state of a channel path
fails due to a timeout, we cannot be sure about its state. To get back to
a defined state, disband the whole path group and try again while excluding
the offending path.

Add new attribute "vpm" to the subchannel sysfs directory of I/O
subchannels. This attribute contains a path mask indicating which
channel paths were successfully verified to be usable for I/O.

Omit known to be broken paths (those set in path_noirq_mask) for the
sense/set PGID and nop IO commands.
Note: path_noirq_mask will be reset in ccw_device_verify_start (the
paths could be healthy again). However if we restart a path
verification via verify_start this mask will not be reset (there is
no need to let the wait for an interrupt time out again - plus we
do not want to loop once we deal with the paths in unknown path group
state).

Do not abort path verification when waiting for an interrupt timed out.
Use path_noirq_mask to keep track of the paths used for this (also
maintain a path_notoper_mask for debugging purposes). If the timeout
happend to be during an operation where we query or alter the state of
path groups set the pgid_unknown flag.
With this change we allow usage of devices which have such ill-behaved
paths (if at least one path is operational).

Under LPAR the zfcpdump HSA is a shared resource. Up to now the HSA memory
is released when the zcore file is closed. Dump programs that know that
they do not need the HSA memory any more (e.g. because they already dumped it)
could release it earlier. This would allow other LPARs to use it again.
To achieve this a new debugfs file "hsa" is added that can be used to read
the HSA size and to release the HSA by writing "0" into the file.

Convert the synchronous size sense code to an interrupt driven
approach. This allows to set the device online even if the
terminal is not connected. With the new code views can be
registered without a connected terminal, the tty can be opened
as soon as the device is online. After the terminal has been
connected and the size has been determined the tty is resized
to match the device characteristics..

Add a notifier to create / destroy the device nodes for the tty view
and the fullscreen view. Only device nodes for online devices are
created and the device names will follow the convention as outlined
in Documentation/devices.txt: 3270/tty<x> for the tty nodes,
3270/tub<x> for hte fullscreen nodes and 3270/tub for the fullscreen
control node.
