commit 9ba333dc55cbb9523553df973adb3024d223e905 upstream.

When a device is in a status where CIO has killed all I/O by itself the
interrupt for a clear request may not contain an irb to determine the
clear function. Instead it contains an error pointer -EIO.
This was ignored by the DASD int_handler leading to a hanging device
waiting for a clear interrupt.

Handle -EIO error pointer correctly for requests that are clear pending and
treat the clear as successful.

Pull misc DAX updates from Vishal Verma:
 "DAX error handling for 4.7

   - Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any
     device.  This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
     errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.

   - The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
     are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.

  Other misc changes:

   - When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is
     page aligned.  This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
     allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent
     reads/writes would fail.

   - Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX
     related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks"

<title>s390/dcssblk: fix possible deadlock in remove vs. per-device attributes</title>

dcssblk_remove_store() holds the dcssblk_devices_sem semaphore while
calling device_unregister(), which in turn tries to acquire the kernfs
kn-&gt;dev_map rwsem for the device sysfs subtree. The same rwsem is also
acquired when using the per-device sysfs attributes in the device sub-tree,
and the attribute handlers then also acquire the dcssblk_devices_sem.

This can lead to a deadlock when removing a DCSS while concurrently
reading from / writing to one of its sysfs attributes. The following
lockdep warning hinted towards the issue (CPU0 = dcssblk_remove_store,
CPU1 = dcssblk_shared_store):

[   76.496047]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

[   76.496054]        CPU0                    CPU1
[   76.496059]        ----                    ----
[   76.496087]   lock(&amp;dcssblk_devices_sem);
[   76.496090]                                lock(s_active#175);
[   76.496106]                                lock(&amp;dcssblk_devices_sem);
[   76.496110]   lock(s_active#175);
[   76.496115]
 *** DEADLOCK ***

Fix this by releasing the dcssblk_devices_sem semaphore, which only
protects internal DCSS data, before calling device_unregister().

When we refuse a non REQ_TYPE_FS request in the build request function
we already hold the queue lock. Thus we must not call blk_end_request_all
but __blk_end_request_all.

<id>urn:sha1:59a9ed5f87b6e396aed1f6bf7d6496f7ba66c37a</id>
<content type='text'>
Reorder lcu and device lock to get rid of the error-prone trylock
mechanism.

The locking order is lcu lock -&gt; device lock.
This protects against changes to the lcu device lists and enables us
to iterate over the devices, take the cdev lock and make changes to
the device structures.

The complicated part is the summary unit check handler that gets an
interrupt on one device of the lcu that leads to structural changes of
the whole lcu itself. This work needs to be done even if devices on
the lcu disappear. So a device independent worker is used.
The old approach tried to update some lcu structures and set up the
lcu worker in the interrupt context with the device lock held.
But this forced the lock order "cdev lock -&gt; lcu lock" that made it
hard to have the lcu lock held and iterate over all devices and change
them.

The new approach is to schedule a device specific worker that gets
out of the interrupt context and rid of the device lock for summary
unit checks. This worker is able to take the lcu lock and schedule the
lcu worker that updates all devices. The time between interrupt and
worker execution is no problem because the devices in the lcu reject
all I/O in this time with an appropriate error. The dasd driver can
deal with this situation and re-drive the I/O later on.

 - Add the CPU id for the new z13s machine

 - Add a s390 specific XOR template for RAID-5 checksumming based on the
   XC instruction.  Remove all other alternatives, XC is always faster

 - The merge of our four different stack tracers into a single one

 - Tidy up the code related to page tables, several large inline
   functions are now out-of-line.  Bloat-o-meter reports ~11K text size
   reduction

 - Improvements for the dasd format code

 - Bug fixes and cleanups
