   s390/cio: Remove vfio-ccw checks of command codes (2019-06-03 12:02:55 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
various vfio-ccw fixes (ccw translation, state machine)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Eric Farman (7):
   s390/cio: Update SCSW if it points to the end of the chain
   s390/cio: Set vfio-ccw FSM state before ioeventfd
   s390/cio: Split pfn_array_alloc_pin into pieces
   s390/cio: Initialize the host addresses in pfn_array
   s390/cio: Don't pin vfio pages for empty transfers
   s390/cio: Allow zero-length CCWs in vfio-ccw
   s390/cio: Remove vfio-ccw checks of command codes

Given that none of the commits contains a stable tag, I assume it's ok
to schedule these for the next merge window (aka 'feature branch')?

All are bug fixes, but for what I think are edge cases. Would be nice
if they could still make it into 5.2, but I have no real problem with
deferring them to the next release, either.

Eric, Farhan: Do you agree?


IMHO the first 2 patches should be merged as early as possible. The 2nd patch specially for setting the vfio-ccw device state before notifying the guest, so the guest doesn't see unexpected errors. This fixes a problem that both Eric and I have noticed with long running fio workloads.

The rest of the patches could go as a features for the next merge window.

Thanks
Farhan
