    s390/dasd: Fix operational path inconsistency · 9e34c8ba
    Jan Höppner authored
    During online processing and setting up a DASD device, the configuration
    data for operational paths is read and validated two times
    (dasd_eckd_read_conf()). The first time to provide information that are
    necessary for the LCU setup. A second time after the LCU setup as a
    device might report different configuration data then.
    
    When the configuration setup for each operational path is being
    validated, an initial call to dasd_eckd_clear_conf_data() is issued.
    This call wipes all previously available configuration data and path
    information for each path.
    However, the operational path mask is not updated during this process.
    
    As a result, the stored operational path mask might no longer correspond
    to the operational paths mask reported by the CIO layer, as several
    paths might be gone between the two dasd_eckd_read_conf() calls.
    
    This inconsistency leads to more severe issues in later path handling
    changes. Fix this by removing the channel paths from the operational
    path mask during the dasd_eckd_clear_conf_data() call.
