From 39ccf95e28765a08a9e01be614695d7c570b4e77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Horst Hummel <horst.hummel@de.ibm.com> Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2006 18:40:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] s390: dasd ioctl never returns The dasd state machine is not designed to enable an unformatted device, since 'unformatted' is a final state. The BIODASDENABLE ioctl calls dasd_enable_device() which never returns if the device is in this special state. Return -EPERM in dasd_increase_state for unformatted devices to make dasd_enable_device terminate. Note: To get such an unformatted device online it has to be re-analyzed. This means that the device needs to be disabled prior to re-enablement.
