Crowd,
Apologies if this is not formatted correctly, but I'm fairly new to this (submitting patches that is)..
************** s390 dasd ECKD drivers issues a Perform Subsystem Function / Prepare for Read SubSystem Data with a length of 16. However, older hardware and documentation specifies a length of 12 leading to a possible Incorrect Length indication. This patch activates the SLI CCW flag in order to avoid reporting the Incorrect Length indication since it is possible that the DASD control unit may be expecting a length of 12, not 16. -- Ivan Warren (ivan@vmfacility.fr)
