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>

When a tape device is set online, offline and online again, the following
error message is printed on the console: "sysfs: duplicate filename
'non-rewinding' can not be created". The reason is that when setting a
device online, the tape driver creates a sysfs symlink from the tape device
to the tape class device. Unfortunately the symlink is not removed
correctly, when the device is set offline. Instead of passing the
tape device object to sysfs_remove_link, the class device object is used.
This patch fixes this problem and uses the correct tape device object now.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

3592 tape devices are able to write data encrpyted on tape mediums.
This z/Linux device driver support includes the following functions:
* ioctl to switch on/off encryption
* ioctl to query encryption status of drive
* ioctls to set and query key encrypting keys (kekls)
* long busy interrupt handling

The only own ioctl, TAPE390_DISPLAY, is compat_clean, everything else is
routed through common translation code.

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!
