These patches contain the following linux kernel bug fixes:
| Description: |
cio: Restart SenseID after pending status. |
| Symptom: |
After attach, tapes appear to be 'boxed'. |
| Problem: |
The check whether to retry SenseID after an unsolicited
interrupt was too stringent. |
| Solution: |
Fix check for restarting. |
| Problem-ID: |
11914 |
| Description: |
kernel: User process executing in wrong address-space mode. |
| Symptom: |
Kernel oops. |
| Problem: |
A space switching instruction in a user program causes a
home space switch event exception. The stored old psw
already contains the new address-space control which is
not reset to the home space mode. |
| Solution: |
Reset the address-space control to home space mode for
home space switch event exceptions. |
| Problem-ID: |
11661 |
| Description: |
qeth: IPv6 over VLAN fails. |
| Symptom: |
IPv6 over VLAN interfaces does not work. |
| Problem: |
The 4 byte VLAN tag (0x8100<VLAN-ID>) is not aligned
properly in outbound packets. |
| Solution: |
Fix alignment of VLAN tag. |
| Problem-ID: |
8619 |
| Description: |
qeth: Wrong alignment of VLAN tag when using fake_ll. |
| Symptom: |
When fake_ll is used the 4 bytes VLAN tag is mis-placed in
the header of received packets. Tools such as tcpdump display
wrong data. |
| Problem: |
VLAN tag was placed at the wrong position when fake_ll is used. |
| Solution: |
Fix position of VLAN tag in conjunction with fake_ll. |
| Problem-ID: |
11059 |
| Description: |
zfcp: Insufficient debugging information in /var/log/messages
for 'LUN sharing violation'. |
| Symptom: |
If a LUN is already in use by another LPAR zfcp does not log
the CCS ID. |
| Problem: |
If a LUN is already in use by another LPAR zfcp logs only
an LPAR number inside CSS, but not the ID of the CSS. |
| Solution: |
Log LPAR number and CSS ID. |
| Problem-ID: |
11576 |
| Description: |
zfcp: Kernel stack frame for zfcp_cfdc_dev_ioctl() is too big. |
| Symptom: |
Calls to the CFDC interface of the ZFCP module use too much
memory on kernel stack, which may result in kernel crash. |
| Problem: |
Frame size of zfcp_cfdc_dev_ioctl() function in ZFCP module
is 424 bytes. |
| Solution: |
Use pointer instead of structure for variable sense_data in
zfcp_cfdc_dev_ioctl() to save 284 bytes of stack space. |
| Problem-ID: |
11518 |
