7a8ad1001c [S390] cio: change locking in io_subchannel_remove
IO subchannels are always unregistered in process context, so use
spin_lock_irq in the corresponding remove callback.

0c609fca24 [S390] cio: handle busy subchannel in ccw_device_move_to_sch
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.

56e6b796fe [S390] cio: fix quiesce state
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.

24a1872d64 [S390] cio: add per device initialization status flag
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.

7d253b9a1a [S390] cio: remove registered flag from ccw_device_private
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.

5d6e6b6f6f [S390] cio: introduce parent-initiated device move
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.

05d419b11f [S390] Fix memory leak in /proc/cio_ignore
There is a memory leak in /proc/cio_ignore. The iterator is allocated
in cio_ignore_proc_seq_start, but never freed in
cio_ignore_proc_seq_stop, because we cannot use the iterator
that was passed by seqfile. The seqfile interface passes the last
seen iterator to the stop function and not the first one. Since our
next function will return NULL at the end, the iter passed to
cio_ignore_proc_seq_stop is NULL. The original iter has leaked.
The solution is to use seq_open_private.

f014824ee7 [S390] cio: fix use after free in s390 debug feature
When using s390dbf with "%s" in sprintf format strings the string itself
is not copied to the dbf buffer.
Since in this case only pointers are stored in the s390dbf, we should
not use dev_name - which is bound to the lifetime of the device.
Reading this entry from s390dbf after the device was released will cause
an use after free error.

217ee6c64a [S390] cio: failing set online/offline processing.
When unit checks trigger sensing the device state is set to W4SENSE
until sense completion; then the device state is set back to
ONLINE. If a unit check occurs while set online or set offline
requests are processed then it might happen that the device's
temporary W4SENSE state causes these functions to terminate,
leaving the device in an inconsistent state when the state is set
back to ONLINE later on so that the device cannot be set online or
offline any longer.
To solve this, set online/offline and related rollback or error
routines are processed only if the device is in a final or
DISCONNECTED state.
