[PATCH 0/9] dasd: implement block timeout

[Martin Schwidefsky]

This is a re-send of a patch series Hannes sent last january. Stefan
looked at the patches and our tests went well, so I guess this is ready
for upstream integration.

The changes to block/blk-core.c and block/blk-timeout.c look good
to me, but I would like to request an acked-by from Jens for the
block layer parts in patch #6 and #7 of the series (pretty please :-)

The original patch description from Hannes:

This patch series implements a block timeout handler for
DASDs. The main impetus was to allow for a fixed upper
timeout value after which a request is aborted.
This is required eg when implementing a host-based
mirroring system where otherwise the entire mirror
would stall under certain circumstances.

Changes since v1:
- Fixed lock inversion in dasd_times_out()
- Checked for 'device->block' when writing to 'timeout' attribute
- Check against 'UINT_MAX' when verifying the 'timeout' value

Once I got the required acked-by I can carry the patch set in the
linux-s390 tree for the next merge window.
