[PATCH 4.4 096/342] s390/dasd: prevent incorrect length error under z/VM after PAV changes

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2016-03-02 01:19:57
Also in: lkml

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Haberland <redacted>

commit 020bf042e5b397479c1174081b935d0ff15d1a64 upstream.

The channel checks the specified length and the provided amount of
data for CCWs and provides an incorrect length error if the size does
not match. Under z/VM with simulation activated the length may get
changed. Having the suppress length indication bit set is stated as
good CCW coding practice and avoids errors under z/VM.
