Stefan Haberland 1aa75808ed s390/dasd: prevent double format of tracks for ESE devices
commit 71f3871657370dbbaf942a1c758f64e49a36c70f upstream.

For ESE devices we get an error for write operations on an unformatted
track. Afterwards the track will be formatted and the IO operation
restarted.
When using alias devices a track might be accessed by multiple requests
simultaneously and there is a race window that a track gets formatted
twice resulting in data loss.

Prevent this by remembering the amount of formatted tracks when starting
a request and comparing this number before actually formatting a track
on the fly. If the number has changed there is a chance that the current
track was finally formatted in between. As a result do not format the
track and restart the current IO to check.

The number of formatted tracks does not match the overall number of
formatted tracks on the device and it might wrap around but this is no
problem. It is only needed to recognize that a track has been formatted at
all in between.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
