There only ever have been two host implementations of the old s390-virtio (pre-ccw) transport: the experimental kuli userspace, and qemu. As qemu switched its default to ccw with 2.4 (with most users having used ccw well before that) and removed the old transport entirely in 2.6, s390-virtio probably hasn't been in active use for quite some time and is therefore likely to bitrot. Let's start the slow mar...

Michael, here are two virtio/s390 patches for 4.8. First, Jing Liu noticed that she could trigger panics while playing around with hvc0 as preferred console but no virtio console: This can be fixed by not discarding our early_put_chars after init (as the minimal fix). This made us wonder why we still have that code around when no current host code supports the old transport: We have no idea

Any progress here? Does anyone know if this will be fixed in 7.1 latest, or should we start looking for different backup solution (in this case I would suggest to remove dump from the source tree - having a backup tool that doesn't work is worse than having none). After upgrading we basically cannot backup our servers. Shouldn't this issue be on

Ok, so I ran fsck manually (even with -y), but yet it refuses to clear/fix whatever to the questions posed as fsck runs. What does this all mean?
