Title:
Ubuntu 16.04.6 - Shared CEX7C cards defined in z/VM guest not
established by zcrypt device driver
Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
In Progress
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
In Progress
Bug description:
SRU Justification:
==================
[Impact]
* Ubuntu 16.04.6 systems on z15 with crypto CEX7C adapters under z/VM
cannot see and make use of their hw crypto resources.
* The patch/backport adds CEX7 toleration support (by mapping it to
CEX5) to kernel 4.4.
[Fix]
* Backport:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1848173/+attachment/5297314/+files/s390
-zcrypt-CEX7-toleration-support.patch
[Test Case]
* Define a z/VM guest with 'apvirt' (hardware crypto adapter
virtualization) having CryptoExpress 7S adapters attached to z/VM
LPAR.
* Use lszcrypt command (ideally lszcrypt -VVV) from the s390-tools
package to list the detected and available hardware crypto resources.
* Canonical can only do a toleration test: IBM needs to do the
functional test (due to hardware availability).
[Regression Potential]
* The regression potential can be considered as moderate since this is
purely s390x specific
* and limited to CryptoExpress 7S (CEX7) adapter cards
* and again if they running under z/VM (on z15) with 'apvirt'
configured for the guest.
* and again only with 16.04.6's kernel 4.4.
[Other Info]
* The patch was already applied, kernel compiled and things tested on
z15 und z/VM.
__________
System: IBM Z15 z/VM with shared CEX7C adapters
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS ( 4.4.0-165-generic kernel ) with latest updates
Shared CEX7C adapters are not displayed on Ubuntu even though APAR 66266 had been installed onto the unterlying z/VM system.
Details
=======
Defined shared CEX7C CCA adapters to provide cryptographic accelerators based on CCA cards to a z/VM guest system running Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS.
The adapters display all right under vm or when running vmcp commands
under Linux.
lszcrypt -VVV does not display any adapter.
We observed that zcrypt_cex4 was not automatically loaded via
dependency by modprobe ap. Explicitly loading by modprobe zcrypt_cex4
did not change card availability.
Please investigate.
Thanks.

After investigating here a little ...
Ubuntu 16.04 has only toleration support for CEX6 and no support for CEX7.
Here is a patch which maps cex7 cards to cex5 cards.
Have a look into - it is just a 2 line code change which
extends the toleration patch for cex6 (mapped to cex5)
by the cex7 card - also mapped to cex5.
Code compiles and I've tested the kernel on a z15 with
lots of cex6 and cex7 cards - works fine.
