[ Upstream commit be534791011100d204602e2e0496e9e6ce8edf63 ] There exist very few ap messages which need to have the 'special' flag enabled. This flag tells the firmware layer to do some pre- and maybe postprocessing. However, it may happen that this special flag is enabled but the firmware is unable to deal with this kind of message and thus returns with reply code 0x41. For example older firmware may not know the newest messages triggered by the zcrypt device driver and thus react with reject and the named reply code. Unfortunately this reply code is not known to the zcrypt error routines and thus default behavior is to switch the ap queue offline. This patch now makes the ap error routine aware of the reply code and so userspace is informed about the bad processing result but the queue is not switched to offline state any more.

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.
