[S390] cio: introduce cio_commit_config
To change the configuration of a subchannel we alter the modifiable bits of the subchannel's schib field and issue a modify subchannel. There can be the case that not all changes were applied -or worse- quietly overwritten by the hardware. With the next store subchannel we obtain the current state of the hardware but lose our target configuration. With this patch we introduce a subchannel_config structure which contains the target subchannel configuration. Additionally the msch wrapper cio_modify is replaced with cio_commit_config which copies the desired changes to a temporary schib. msch is then called with the temporary schib. This schib is only written back to the subchannel if all changes were applied. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Ott <sebott@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
