Subject: [s390] cio: Device status validity
Message-id: 20071030155709.GB6604@redhat.com
O-Subject: [RHEL5.2 PATCH 2/5] s390 cio: Device status validity
Bugzilla: 354821

Problem:
=========

The device driver assumes the final status for a request while it isn't
finished yet.
The device status in the irb contains the channel end/device end.
The problem was hit by performing I/O stress tesits while pulling/plugging storage
cables or performing  a variety of logical operations. At some point, data written to disk
diverged from expected data (dasd driver received incorrect channel end/device
end, however, data was not written to disk).

Bugzilla
=========

BZ 354821
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354821

Upstream status of the patch:
=============================
Fix included in git as commit 25c61a1fe8c97d1352a2dc0eda25128b3be0db27

Test status:
============
Kernel with patch was built and successfully tested

Please ACK.

With best regards,

Hans
