Subject: [PATCH 4.4 044/193] s390/dasd: prevent prefix I/O error

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

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

From: Stefan Haberland <sth@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>


[ Upstream commit da340f921d3454f1521671c7a5a43ad3331fbe50 ]

Prevent that a prefix flag is set based on invalid configuration data.
The validity.verify_base flag should only be set for alias devices.
Usually the unit address type is either one of base, PAV alias or
HyperPAV alias. But in cases where the unit address type is not set or
any other value the validity.verify_base flag might be set as well.
This would lead to follow on errors.
Explicitly check for alias devices and set the validity flag only for
them.
