tape3590-2.4.21-s390-03-june2003.tar.gz / MD5 ... 31-bit OCO module, recommended (superseded) (2005-02-14)

tape3590-2.4.21-s390x-03-june2003.tar.gz / MD5 ... 64-bit OCO module, recommended (superseded) (2005-02-14)

The 2005-02-14 tape_3590 OCO-modules:

  • contain the below bug fix
  • replace the 2004-07-14 version of the tape_3590 OCO-module "tape3590-2.4.21-s390(x)-02-june2003.tar.gz"
  • are required after applying the 2005-02-14 kernel patches "linux-2.4.21-s390-24-june2003.tar.gz" (and any later kernel patches until these OCOs are superseded)

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

Note: After unpacking this tarball, please rename the tape3590 OCO module to tape_3590.o
