/*
 * SECTION: the internal buffer
 */

/*
 * The internal buffer is meant to store obaque blobs of data, so it does
 * not know of higher level concepts like triggers.
 * It consists of a number of pages that are used as a ringbuffer. Each data
 * blob is stored in a simple record that consists of an integer, which
 * contains the size of the following data, and the data bytes themselfes.
 *
 * To allow for multiple independent readers we create one internal buffer
 * each time the device is opened and destroy the buffer when the file is
 * closed again. The number of pages used for this buffer is determined by
 * the module parmeter eer_pages.
 *
 * One record can be written to a buffer by using the functions
 * - dasd_eer_start_record (one time per record to write the size to the
 *                          buffer and reserve the space for the data)
 * - dasd_eer_write_buffer (one or more times per record to write the data)
 * The data can be written in several steps but you will have to compute
 * the total size up front for the invocation of dasd_eer_start_record.
 * If the ringbuffer is full, dasd_eer_start_record will remove the required
 * number of old records.
 *
 * A record is typically read in two steps, first read the integer that
 * specifies the size of the following data, then read the data.
 * Both can be done by
 * - dasd_eer_read_buffer
 *
 * For all mentioned functions you need to get the bufferlock first and keep
 * it until a complete record is written or read.
 *
 * All information necessary to keep track of an internal buffer is kept in
 * a struct eerbuffer. The buffer specific to a file pointer is strored in
 * the private_data field of that file. To be able to write data to all
 * existing buffers, each buffer is also added to the bufferlist.
 * If the user does not want to read a complete record in one go, we have to
 * keep track of the rest of the record. residual stores the number of bytes
 * that are still to deliver. If the rest of the record is invalidated between
 * two reads then residual will be set to -1 so that the next read will fail.
 * All entries in the eerbuffer structure are protected with the bufferlock.
 * To avoid races between writing to a buffer on the one side and creating
 * and destroying buffers on the other side, the bufferlock must also be used
 * to protect the bufferlist.

/*
 * SECTION: The extended error reporting functionality
 */

/*
 * When a DASD device driver wants to report an error, it calls the
 * function dasd_eer_write and gives the respective trigger ID as
 * parameter. Currently there are four kinds of triggers:
 *
 * DASD_EER_FATALERROR:  all kinds of unrecoverable I/O problems
 * DASD_EER_PPRCSUSPEND: PPRC was suspended
 * DASD_EER_NOPATH:      There is no path to the device left.
 * DASD_EER_STATECHANGE: The state of the device has changed.
 *
 * For the first three triggers all required information can be supplied by
 * the caller. For these triggers a record is written by the function
 * dasd_eer_write_standard_trigger.
 *
 * The DASD_EER_STATECHANGE trigger is special since a sense subsystem
 * status ccw need to be executed to gather the necessary sense data first.
 * The dasd_eer_snss function will queue the SNSS request and the request
 * callback will then call dasd_eer_write with the DASD_EER_STATCHANGE
 * trigger.
 *
 * To avoid memory allocations at runtime, the necessary memory is allocated
 * when the extended error reporting is enabled for a device (by
 * dasd_eer_probe). There is one sense subsystem status request for each
 * eer enabled DASD device. The presence of the cqr in device->eer_cqr
 * indicates that eer is enable for the device. The use of the snss request
 * is protected by the DASD_FLAG_EER_IN_USE bit. When this flag indicates
 * that the cqr is currently in use, dasd_eer_snss cannot start a second
 * request but sets the DASD_FLAG_EER_SNSS flag instead. The callback of
 * the SNSS request will check the bit and call dasd_eer_snss again.
