Kernel oops caused by invalid parameter at TAPQ instruction:
On older systems where the QCI instruction is not available
all possible domains are probed via TAPQ instruction. The
range for the probe has been extended with the > 16 domain
support now leading to a possible specification exception
when this instruction is called for probing higher values
within the new range. This may happen during insmod and/or
ap bus reset only on machines without a QCI instruction (z10,
z196, z114), zEC12 and newer systems are not affected.
The fix modifies the domain checking function to limit the
allowed range if no QCI info is available.

Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
"Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.
They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
just removing a line in a structure.
Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There
are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been
acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs
changes.

Two new s390 specific system calls are added to emulate user space

Two patches for the memory management with changes to common code.
For KVM mm_forbids_zeropage is added which disables the empty zero

pmdp_get_and_clear_full is added analog to ptep_get_and_clear_full.

Getting that completed will make life much simpler for

file_inode(file) pointing to inode in a covered layer, with dentry

All drivers use the implementation for ramping the queue up and down, so
instead of overloading the change_queue_depth method call the
implementation diretly if the driver opts into it by setting the
track_queue_depth flag in the host template.
Note that a few drivers validated the new queue depth in their
change_queue_depth method, but as we never go over the queue depth
set during slave_configure or the sysfs file this isn't nessecary
and can safely be removed.

This patch improves the Fibre Channel port scan behaviour of the zfcp lldd.
Without it the zfcp device driver may churn up the storage area network by
excessive scanning and scan bursts, particularly in big virtual server
environments, potentially resulting in interference of virtual servers and
reduced availability of storage connectivity.
The two main issues as to the zfcp device drivers automatic port scan in
virtual server environments are frequency and simultaneity.
On the one hand, there is no point in allowing lots of ports scans
in a row. It makes sense, though, to make sure that a scan is conducted
eventually if there has been any indication for potential SAN changes.
On the other hand, lots of virtual servers receiving the same indication
for a SAN change had better not attempt to conduct a scan instantly,
that is, at the same time.
Hence this patch has a two-fold approach for better port scanning:
the introduction of a rate limit to amend frequency issues, and the
introduction of a short random backoff to amend simultaneity issues.
Both approaches boil down to deferred port scans, with delays
comprising parts for both approaches.
The new port scan behaviour is summarised best by:
NEW: NEW:
no_auto_port_rescan random rate flush
backoff limit =wait
adapter resume/thaw yes yes no yes*
adapter online (user) no yes no yes*
port rescan (user) no no no yes
adapter recovery (user) yes yes yes no
adapter recovery (other) yes yes yes no
incoming ELS yes yes yes no
incoming ELS lost yes yes yes no
Implementation is straight-forward by converting an existing worker to
a delayed worker. But care is needed whenever that worker is going to be
flushed (in order to make sure work has been completed), since a flush
operation cancels the timer set up for deferred execution (see * above).
There is a small race window whenever a port scan work starts
running up to the point in time of storing the time stamp for that port
scan. The impact is negligible. Closing that gap isn't trivial, though, and
would the destroy the beauty of a simple work-to-delayed-work conversion.

Through sysfs attributes, zfcp unit objects
provide a trigger for manual LUN recovery
and export information for problem determination.
With commit
f8210e34887e1feb977a9b6b8caa086855af40c9
"[SCSI] zfcp: Allow midlayer to scan for LUNs when running in NPIV mode"
and when attaching SCSI devices through this new optional method,
no more zfcp unit objects are allocated for such SCSI devices.
Hence, the above-mentioned trigger and information were missing.
The information and context is located in SCSI transport device data since
b62a8d9b45b971a67a0f8413338c230e3117dff5
"[SCSI] zfcp: Use SCSI device data zfcp_scsi_dev instead of zfcp_unit"
57c237731b92fadc7d44824276313ec330b1989b
"[SCSI] zfcp: Add zfcp private struct as SCSI device driver data"
Hence, introduce the trigger and the information unconditionally
for all SCSI devices attached through zfcp.
We prefix the attribute names with 'zfcp_' to prevent collisions and
to avoid mix-ups such as with the common 'state' attribute.
Since some of the new attribute views do not need zfcp_port
in the ZFCP_DEFINE_SCSI_ATTR helper macro, remove zfcp_port
to avoid compiler warnings on unused variable.
It's easy to open code the conversion from zfcp_scsi_dev to zfcp_port
for the two already existing attributes hba_id and wwpn.

This patch removes some leftovers for commit
663e0890e31cb85f0cca5ac1faaee0d2d52880b5
"[SCSI] zfcp: remove access control tables interface".
The "access denied" case for ports is gone, as well.
The corresponding flag was cleared, but never set.
So clean it up.
Sysfs flag is kept, though, for backward-compatibility.
Now it returns always 0.

Remove the tagged argument from scsi_adjust_queue_depth, and just let it
handle the queue depth. For most drivers those two are fairly separate,
given that most modern drivers don't care about the SCSI "tagged" status
of a command at all, and many old drivers allow queuing of multiple
untagged commands in the driver.
Instead we start out with the ->simple_tags flag set before calling
->slave_configure, which is how all drivers actually looking at
->simple_tags except for one worke anyway. The one other case looks
broken, but I've kept the behavior as-is for now.
Except for that we only change ->simple_tags from the ->change_queue_type,
and when rejecting a tag message in a single driver, so keeping this
churn out of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is a clear win.
Now that the usage of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is more obvious we can
also remove all the trivial instances in ->slave_alloc or ->slave_configure
that just set it to the cmd_per_lun default.

Unless we want to build a SPI tag message we should just check SCMD_TAGGED
instead of reverse engineering a tag type through the use of
scsi_populate_tag_msg.
Also rename the function to spi_populate_tag_msg, make it behave like the
other spi message helpers, and move it to the spi transport class.
