      s390: avoid using global register for current_stack_pointer · e3c11025
      Vasily Gorbik authored
      Commit 30de14b1 ("s390: current_stack_pointer shouldn't be a
      function") made current_stack_pointer a global register variable like
      on many other architectures. Unfortunately on s390 it uncovers old
      gcc bug which is fixed only since gcc-9.1 [gcc commit 3ad7fed1cc87
      ("S/390: Fix PR89775. Stackpointer save/restore instructions removed")]
      and backported to gcc-8.4 and later. Due to this bug gcc versions prior
      to 8.4 generate broken code which leads to stack corruptions.
      
      Current minimal gcc version required to build the kernel is declared
      as 5.1. It is not possible to fix all old gcc versions, so work
      around this problem by avoiding using global register variable for
      current_stack_pointer.

      s390/dcssblk: fix deadlock when adding a DCSS · a41a11b4
      Gerald Schaefer authored
      After the rework from commit 1ebe2e5f ("block: remove
      GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT"), when calling device_add_disk(), dcssblk will end up
      in disk_scan_partitions(), and not break out early w/o GENHD_FL_NO_PART.
      This will trigger implicit open/release via blkdev_get/put_whole()
      later. dcssblk_release() will then deadlock on dcssblk_devices_sem
      semaphore, which is already held from dcssblk_add_store() when calling
      device_add_disk().
      
      dcssblk does not support partitions (DCSSBLK_MINORS_PER_DISK == 1), and
      never scanned partitions before. Therefore restore the previous
      behavior, and explicitly disallow partition scanning by setting the
      GENHD_FL_NO_PART flag. This will also prevent this deadlock scenario.
      
      Fixes: 1ebe2e5f ("block: remove GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT")
