Backport request of cryto-toleration patch for new crypto HW for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

Appears to be just:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5018251/

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

No, that's probably wrong as it's from 2014. Do you have git commit ids to the relevant patches upstream per-chance?

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

Please note that:
commit 42f4dd613fe808676126472bbe1283e452201148
Author: Ingo Tuchscherer <email address hidden>
Date: Thu Oct 2 14:48:46 2014 +0200

    s390/zcrypt: Toleration of new crypto hardware

    The zcrypt device driver will accept the new crypto adapter
    in toleration mode. A new sysfs attribute 'raw_hwtype' will
    expose the raw hardware type.

Is available in all ubuntu releases.

Hello Heinz-Werner, hi xnox

the required patch is still not upstream. It is in the pipe for Martin to be sent to Linus for the next kernel 4.10.
Of course the fix is ready and I could attach it here, but I think Ubuntu wants to wait until it is upstream available.

regards
H.Freudenberger

There needs to be a public bug before I can submit a patch to the kernel team email list.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Running 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus)" I updated the linux-generic package from xenial-proposed to version 4.4.0.59.62 and ran a basic regression test on Cryptographic Adapters. Cards came online upon modprobe ap, could be set offline/online, and passed basic workload tests.

Verifying on yakkety:
=====================
Used linux-generic Version: 4.8.0.34.43
Running 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) we successfully executed the above mentioned tests.
