Subject: [26/39] S390: dasd: support DIAG access for read-only devices

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Stefan Weinhuber <wein@...ibm.com>

commit 22825ab7693fd29769518a0d25ba43c01a50092a upstream.

When a DASD device is used with the DIAG discipline, the DIAG
initialization will indicate success or error with a respective
return code. So far we have interpreted a return code of 4 as error,
but it actually means that the initialization was successful, but
the device is read-only. To allow read-only devices to be used with
DIAG we need to accept a return code of 4 as success.

Re-initialization of the DIAG access is also part of the DIAG error
recovery. If we find that the access mode of a device has been
changed from writable to read-only while the device was in use,
we print an error message.
