Problem:
A recovery thread must not be active when device is removed.
In qeth_remove_device() an interruptible wait operation is used
to wait until a qeth recovery thread is finished. If a user really
interrupts the ungroup operation of a qeth device while a recovery
is running, cio and qeth are out of sync (device already removed
from cio, but kept in qeth). A following module unload of qeth
results in a kernel OOPS here.
Solution:
Do not allow interruption of ungroup operation to guarantee
finishing of a potentially running qeth recovery thread.

When a vmur device is removed due to a detach of the device, currently the
ur device structure is freed. Unfortunately it can happen, that there is
still a user of the device structure, when the character device is open
during the detach process. To fix this, reference counting for the vmur
structure is introduced.
In addition to that, the online, offline, probe and remove functions are
serialized now using a global mutex.

There are several s390 diagnose calls, which must be executed below the
2GB memory boundary. In order to enforce this, those diagnoses must be
compiled into the kernel. Currently diag 14 can be called within the
vmur kernel module from addresses above 2GB. This leads to specification
exceptions. This patch moves diag10, diag14 and diag210 into the new
diag.c file.

Hipersocket Multicast queue works asynchronously. When sending buffers,
the buffer state change may happen delayed. The tasklet for checking
changes in the outbound queue excluded IQDIO async queues from this
process. This created either a hang situation when the queue ran full,
or presented a hang situation a interface close time.
The tasklet processing is changed to include IQDIO async queues when
requesting buffer state refresh.

QDIO returned from EQBS instruction in any case after return code
CCQ=96 was issued regardless whether buffer states for at least one
buffer were extracted or not.
This caused FCP devices to hang when running under z/VM and having
QIOASSASIST=ON and having high I/O rates.
In order to fix this qdio return code processing of EQBS instruction
after CCQ=96 is changed that buffers are returned and if no buffers

This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside
of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions
that we already have available to us.
This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to
fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ
(because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate
offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly
to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a
third of a second or so.

When SQBS and EQBS instructions returns CCQ=96 qdio does not reissue

Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.
What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.
In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(
Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)
Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.
Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.
