During online processing and setting up a DASD device, the configuration data for operational paths is read and validated two times (dasd_eckd_read_conf()). The first time to provide information that are necessary for the LCU setup. A second time after the LCU setup as a device might report different configuration data then. When the configuration setup for each operational path is being validated, an initial call to dasd_eckd_clear_conf_data() is issued. This call wipes all previously available configuration data and path information for each path. However, the operational path mask is not updated during this process. As a result, the stored operational path mask might no longer correspond to the operational paths mask reported by the CIO layer, as several paths might be gone between the two dasd_eckd_read_conf() calls. This inconsistency leads to more severe issues in later path handling changes. Fix this by removing the channel paths from the operational path mask during the dasd_eckd_clear_conf_data() call.

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.
