The DASD driver has certain types of requests that might be rejected by the storage server or z/VM because they are not supported. Since the missing support of the command is not a real issue there is no user visible kernel error message for this. For copy pair setups there is a specific error that IO is not allowed on secondary devices. This error case is explicitly handled and an error message is printed. The code checking for the error did use a bitwise 'and' that is used to check for specific bits. But in this case the whole sense byte has to match. This leads to the problem that the copy pair related error message is erroneously printed for other error cases that are usually not reported. This might heavily confuse users and lead to follow on actions that might disrupt application processing. Fix by checking the sense byte for the exact value and not single bits.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
