We currently return the same error code (-EFAULT) to indicate two different error cases: 1. a bug in vfio-ccw implementation has been found. 2. a buggy channel program has been detected. This brings difficulty for userland program (specifically Qemu) to handle. Let's use -EFAULT to only indicate the first case. For the second case, we simply hand over the ccws to lower level for further handling. Notice: Once a bad idaw address is detected, the current behavior is to suppress the ssch. With this fix, the channel program will be accepted, and part of the channel program (the part ahead of the bad idaw) could possibly be executed by the device before I/O conclusion.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
