If the CCW being processed is a No-Operation, then by definition no

CCW processors, rather than skipping out early.

Likewise, if the CCW being processed is a "test" (an invented
definition to simply mean it ends in a zero),

The "Common I/O Device Commands" document actually defines this :)

Blech, okay so I didn't look early enough in that document. Section 1.5 it is. :)


let's permit that to go
through to the hardware.  There's nothing inherently unique about
those command codes versus one that ends in an eight [1], or any other
otherwise valid command codes that are undefined for the device type
in question.

But I agree that everything possible should be sent to the hardware.


[1] POPS states that a x08 is a TIC CCW, and that having any high-order
bits enabled is invalid for format-1 CCWs.  For format-0 CCWs, the
high-order bits are ignored.

Don't you need to return 0 here for any test command as well?

(If I read the doc correctly, we'll just get a unit check in any case,
as there are no parallel I/O interfaces on modern s390 boxes. Even if
we had a parallel I/O interface, we'd just collect the status, and not
get any data transfer. FWIW, the QEMU ccw interpreter for emulated
devices rejects test ccws with a channel program check, which looks
wrong; should be a command reject instead.)

I will go back and look. I thought when I sent a test command with an address that wasn't translated I got an unhappy result, which is why I ripped this check out.

I was trying to use test CCWs as a safety valve for Halil's Status Modifier concern, so maybe I had something else wrong on that pile. (The careful observer would note that that code was not included here. :)
