linux-2.4.21-s390-24-june2003.tar.gz / MD5 ... accumulated patch, recommended (2005-02-14)

linux-2.4.21-s390-24-june2003-patches.tar.gz / MD5 ... per-problem-patches, recommended (2005-02-14)

These patches contain the following linux kernel bug fixes:

Description:

qeth: dhcpcd does not work.

Symptom:

dhcpcd cannot communicate with DHCP server.

Problem:

Incorrect packet headers when fake_ll is active.

Solution:

Adapt qeth_fake_header function. Omit specific fake_ll processing for outbound raw packets (protocol neither IP nor IPV6).

Problem-ID:

13913

Description:

tape: Tar or DB/2 backup hangs.

Symptom:

Writing to tape hangs when tape library sends notification about statistics log change.

Problem:

Unsolicited interrupt after starting I/O can cause a deferred condition code. In that case we have to restart the last request.

Solution:

Check for status pending and start function not executed and restart I/O in that case.

Problem-ID:

12854

Description:

zfcp: Error in handler of FSF requests 'Send FCP Command'.

Symptom:

If 'Send FCP Command' request comes back with FSF status FSF_ADAPTER_STATUS_AVAILABLE and unknown FSF status qualifier, then this request is not marked in ZFCP module as bad request.

Problem:

Send FCP Command handler marks request as bad for FSF status FSF_ADAPTER_STATUS_AVAILABLE only for known FSF status qualifiers.

Solution:

Mark request as bad in any case, if FSF status is FSF_ADAPTER_STATUS_AVAILABLE.

Problem-ID:

13816
