[S390] dasd: improve error recovery for internal I/O

Most of the error conditions reported by a FICON storage server
indicate situations which can be recovered. Sometimes the host just
needs to retry an I/O request, but sometimes the recovery
is more complex and requires the device driver to wait, choose
a different path, etc.

The DASD device driver has a fully featured error recovery
for normal block layer I/O, but not for internal I/O request which
are for example used during the device bring up.
This can lead to situations where the IPL of a system fails because
DASD devices are not properly recognized.
This patch will extend the internal I/O handling to use the existing
error recovery procedures.

[S390] dasd: fix race condition in resume code

There is a race while re-reading the device characteristics. After
cleaning the memory area a cqr is build which reads the device
characteristics. This may take a rather long time and the device
characteristics structure is zero during this. Now it could be
possible that the block tasklet starts working and a new cqr will be
build. The build_cp command refers to the device characteristics
structure and this may lead into a divide by zero exception.
Fix this by re-reading the device characteristics into a temporary
structur and copy the data to the original structure. Also take the
ccwdev_lock.

To set a dasd online dasd_change_state is called twice. The first
cycle will schedule initial analysis of the device, set the rc to

The initial analysis will in turn call dasd_change_state to increase

both finish with the state set to DASD_STATE_ONLINE and the device
refcount will be decreased by 2.

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.

Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.

Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...

* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()

* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()

* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start

* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests

* applying new API to all LLDs

Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

block: implement and use [__]blk_end_request_all()

There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
full request length and expect full completion. Many of them ensure
that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
value, which is awkward and error-prone.

This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
and fully completes the request. BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
this actually happens.

Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.

* cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().

* s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to

it will wait for each online operation to finish individually,
which may take long if many dasds need to be onlined. When using
the new async framework, these onlining operations can run in
parallel and presence of the root device is ensured by the fact
that prepare_namespace() waits for all async threads to finish.
