------- Comment From Christian.Rund@xxxxxxxxxx 2014-12-03 16:56 EDT-------
Successfully tested the 3.16.0-26-generic packages of which the extended package has the right (2.0.25) version of the genwqe_card module in. I was able to rmmod, modprobe and on reboot the system successfully loaded the genwqe device driver. I could run compression/decompression workload successfully.

That said, I had to manually install the .deb packages found on
https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-
team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/6612025 as 'apt' was not showing the
3.16.0-26 kernel updates from the 'trusty-proposed' repository for my
vivid 15.04 system.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The IBM GenWQE Accelerator Adapter does not work correctly in the latest 3.16 kernel.

  [Test Case]
  1) Create a guest system on PowerKVM using image disk file, install from virutal SCSI DVD. Especially assign the GenWQE card via PCI passthrough.
  2) Start up the guest
  3) lspci -knd :044b
  3) dmesg|grep genwqe
  4) ) modprobe genwqe_card.ko
      No module is assigned to the card
  5) ls -l /dev/genwq* shows no file at all.
      One device file would be expected here.

  [Fix]
  The following patches cleanly cherry-pick into 3.16
  1451f41 GenWQE: Support blocking when DDCB queue is busy
  08e4906 GenWQE: Fix problem when reading HSI and Retc
  d9c11d4 GenWQE: Fix checkpatch complaints
  bc407dd GenWQE: Check return code of pci_sriov_enable
  2d880cc GenWQE: Do not modify return code of genwqe_set_interrupt_capability
  26d8f6f GenWQE: Update author information
  64df2ec GenWQE: Remove sysfs entry for driver version
  95a8825 GenWQE: Check pci_get_totalvfs return code
  32182cd misc: remove DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE usage
  5b35b20 GenWQE: Remove unnecessary include
  7276883 misc/GenWQE: fix pci_enable_msi usage
  d584f69 GenWQE: Increase driver version number
  93b772b GenWQE: Improve hardware error recovery

  ---Problem Description---
  In our opinion the 2.0.15 version of the IBM GenWQE Accelerator Adapter driver part of Ubuntu 15.04 is not working. A higher version would be needed. The driver is part of the linux-image-extra-3.16.0-24-generic package.

  == Comment: #2 - Frank Haverkamp <haverkam@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2014-11-12 05:09:24 ==
  Christian and I tried out CVS version of the driver and that works. Ubuntu picked and unfortunate intermediate version of the driver which had broken irq registration. This was fixed later by Sebastian Ott and Kleber and I added on top of that some more patches which did cleanups and more importantly added System p specific recovery features e.g. like EEH handlers and a method to reload the bitstream for p.

  Therefore it would be great if someone could have the Ubuntu folks
  pickup the latest version from Kernel.org.

  I know that Greg KH has a good version of the code in his tree. We
  need to check if that has made it yet into Linux version (both should
  be the same).

  == Comment: #3 - Frank Haverkamp <haverkam@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2014-11-12 07:58:03 ==
  Christian has checked the linux.git version of the genwqe_card driver compiled against his Ubuntu kernel and found it working.

  SHA is 206c5f60a3d902bc4b56dab2de3e88de5eb06108.
  Patched affecting the driver are usually prefixed with GenWQE or genwqe

  7276883f1f98cd0a92fdc049f69bdc0912f7fc16 misc/GenWQE: fix pci_enable_msi usage
  was the one which fixed the problem introduced by
  a30d0108b09ae46d24594a2e699c4dad21bb4af4 Use pci_enable_msi_exact() instead of pci_enable_msi_block()

  So please have a look how we convince the Ubuntu folks to update their
  version of the code. Thanks.

  == Comment: #5 - Christian Rund <Christian.Rund@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2014-11-12 08:26:17 ==
  Confirm that version 2.0.25 built against the mainline kernel is working for us.
  Used given SHA based on Linux 3.18-rc4, paid attention to the new genwqe_card.h file.

  To make matters worse the picked 2.0.15 version leads to system hung soon after the dmesg messages described above (i.e. when the genwqe_card module is loaded).
  Thus raising priority to P2 normal.

  Hope Franks and my comments answer 'more info'. Setting state back to
  open.
