mainlining shenanigans

A dynamic formatting is issued whenever a write request returns with either a No Record Found error (Command Mode), Incorrect Length error (Transport Mode), or File Protected error (Transport Mode). All three cases mean that the tracks in question haven't been initialized in a desired format yet. The part of the volume that was tried to be written on is then formatted and the original request is re-queued. As the formatting will happen during normal I/O operations, it is quite likely that there won't be any memory available to build the respective request. Another two pages of memory are allocated per volume specifically for the dynamic formatting. The dasd_eckd_build_format() function is extended to make sure that the original startdev is reused. Also, all formatting and format check functions use the new memory pool exclusively now to reduce complexity. Read operations will always return zero data when unformatted areas are read.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
