[This is the QEMU part, git tree is available at https://github.com/cohuck/qemu vfio-ccw-caps The companion Linux kernel patches are available at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/vfio-ccw.git vfio-ccw-eagain-caps] Currently, vfio-ccw only relays START SUBCHANNEL requests to the real device. This tends to work well for the most common 'good path' scenarios; however, as we emulate {HALT,CLEAR} SUBCHANNEL in QEMU, things like clearing pending requests at the device is currently not supported. This may be a problem for e.g. error recovery. This patch series makes use of the newly introduced async command region to issue hsch/csch; if it is not present, continue to emulate hsch/csch, as before. Note that the kernel side now returns -EAGAIN to trigger a retry in more cases; QEMU should already be fine with that. [I'm not quite happy with how this async processing hooks up in css.c; ideas welcome.] Lightly tested (I can interact with a dasd as before, and reserve/release seems to work well.) Not sure if there is a better way to test this, ideas welcome.
