    for z/VM TCP/IP.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

  • Support was added to TCP/IP for Enhanced Queued Direct I/O
    (EQDIO) in support of z17 and LinuxOne Emperor 5. A new
    device type (EQDIO) was added to the configuration. Support
    for the "EQDIO" device type was added to the stack and
    associated commands. Publications were updated with the
    changes.
