Description Nigel Hislop 2010-02-16 20:23:05 UTC
The patch for this request has been submitted to IBM. Once it has been committed to the upstream kernel, this bz will updated with the relevant commit details.

The patch updates the EMC Symmetrix CKD dasd ioctl (refer bz 483154) to root use only. 
The patch also removes the unnecessary PSF order/suborder check.

Comment 1 Nigel Hislop 2010-02-16 20:26:37 UTC
Changing target to beta - if possible.

Comment 2 Andrius Benokraitis 2010-02-17 15:37:50 UTC
We are currently in the final builds for RHEL 5.5, so deferring this to 5.6 consideration.

Comment 4 Nigel Hislop 2010-03-19 15:57:35 UTC
Do we need a separate BZ to get this patch into RHEL 6?

Comment 5 Andrius Benokraitis 2010-03-23 20:39:37 UTC
Yes, one bugzilla per release.

Nigel, is this the patch that is proposed for RHEL 5.6?

Comment 7 Nigel Hislop 2010-10-05 19:02:23 UTC
That is correct
Same patch as BZ 566183

Comment 8 Andrius Benokraitis 2010-10-05 19:06:05 UTC
OK, I think the assignee is incorrect in this BZ - setting to the same as bug 566183

Comment 9 John Feeney 2010-10-12 16:37:40 UTC
A s390 kernel rpm with this fix from comment #6 can be found on my people page. Please see http://people.redhat.com/jfeeney/.rhel5.6.
 
Testing feedback would be appreciated.

Comment 10 RHEL Program Management 2010-10-12 16:51:00 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 11 Nigel Hislop 2010-10-12 21:05:54 UTC
Patch confirmed as fully functional.
Patched kernel tested was from kernel-2.6.18-222.el5.bz565973.1.s390x.rpm as supplied by John Feeney - Comment 9. 

[root@xxx]# uname -a
Linux xxx 2.6.18-222.el5.bz565973.1 #1 SMP Fri Oct 8 17:51:44 EDT 2010 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux

Many thanks ....

Comment 12 John Feeney 2010-10-12 22:12:41 UTC
Quick turnaround on testing, Nigel. Much appreciated.

Comment 14 Jarod Wilson 2010-10-19 18:53:38 UTC
in kernel-2.6.18-228.el5
You can download this test kernel (or newer) from http://people.redhat.com/jwilson/el5

Detailed testing feedback is always welcomed.

Comment 16 Nigel Hislop 2010-10-19 19:07:59 UTC
Is there a specific reason to test this drop?
Otherwise I'll wait for beta for the next test.

Nigel, sometimes it's easier for folks to just download a kernel and install it on top of 5.5 GA. If not, you can download the Alpha when it is released shortly. Wayne should have the link for you when it's available.
