In case of error, functions dasd_kmalloc_request and idal_buffer_alloc
return an ERR pointer, but never return the NULL pointer. So after a
call to one of these functions, a NULL test should be replaced by an
IS_ERR test.
A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is
as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
// <smpl>
@correct_null_test@
expression x,E;
statement S1, S2;
@@
x =
(
dasd_kmalloc_request(...)
|
idal_buffer_alloc(...)
)
<... when != x = E
if (
(
- x@p2 != NULL
+ ! IS_ERR ( x )
|
- x@p2 == NULL
+ IS_ERR( x )
)
)
S1
else S2
...>
? x = E;
// </smpl>

After switching compression on/off with the mt command, tape encryption is no
longer working. The reason for that is, that the modeset_byte is set to
the compression value instead of using bitwise and/or bit operations to
enable/disable the corresponding bit.

If a tape device is assigned to another host, the interrupt for the assign
operation comes back with deferred condition code 1. Under some conditions
this can lead to an endless loop of retries. Check if the current request is
still in IO in deferred condition code handling and prevent retries when the
request has already been cancelled.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
