+ * SECTION: the internal buffer
+ */
+
+/*
+ * The internal buffer is meant to store obaque blobs of data, so it does
+ * not know of higher level concepts like triggers.
+ * It consists of a number of pages that are used as a ringbuffer. Each data
+ * blob is stored in a simple record that consists of an integer, which
+ * contains the size of the following data, and the data bytes themselfes.
+ *
+ * To allow for multiple independent readers we create one internal buffer
+ * each time the device is opened and destroy the buffer when the file is
+ * closed again. The number of pages used for this buffer is determined by
+ * the module parmeter eer_pages.
+ *
+ * One record can be written to a buffer by using the functions
+ * - dasd_eer_start_record (one time per record to write the size to the
+ *                          buffer and reserve the space for the data)
+ * - dasd_eer_write_buffer (one or more times per record to write the data)
+ * The data can be written in several steps but you will have to compute
+ * the total size up front for the invocation of dasd_eer_start_record.
+ * If the ringbuffer is full, dasd_eer_start_record will remove the required
+ * number of old records.
+ *
+ * A record is typically read in two steps, first read the integer that
+ * specifies the size of the following data, then read the data.
+ * Both can be done by
+ * - dasd_eer_read_buffer
+ *
+ * For all mentioned functions you need to get the bufferlock first and keep
+ * it until a complete record is written or read.
+ *
+ * All information necessary to keep track of an internal buffer is kept in
+ * a struct eerbuffer. The buffer specific to a file pointer is strored in
+ * the private_data field of that file. To be able to write data to all
+ * existing buffers, each buffer is also added to the bufferlist.
+ * If the user does not want to read a complete record in one go, we have to
+ * keep track of the rest of the record. residual stores the number of bytes
+ * that are still to deliver. If the rest of the record is invalidated between
+ * two reads then residual will be set to -1 so that the next read will fail.
+ * All entries in the eerbuffer structure are protected with the bufferlock.
+ * To avoid races between writing to a buffer on the one side and creating
+ * and destroying buffers on the other side, the bufferlock must also be used
+ * to protect the bufferlist.

+ * SECTION: The extended error reporting functionality
+ */
+
+/*
+ * When a DASD device driver wants to report an error, it calls the
+ * function dasd_eer_write and gives the respective trigger ID as
+ * parameter. Currently there are four kinds of triggers:
+ *
+ * DASD_EER_FATALERROR:  all kinds of unrecoverable I/O problems
+ * DASD_EER_PPRCSUSPEND: PPRC was suspended
+ * DASD_EER_NOPATH:      There is no path to the device left.
+ * DASD_EER_STATECHANGE: The state of the device has changed.
+ *
+ * For the first three triggers all required information can be supplied by
+ * the caller. For these triggers a record is written by the function
+ * dasd_eer_write_standard_trigger.
+ *
+ * The DASD_EER_STATECHANGE trigger is special since a sense subsystem
+ * status ccw need to be executed to gather the necessary sense data first.
+ * The dasd_eer_snss function will queue the SNSS request and the request
+ * callback will then call dasd_eer_write with the DASD_EER_STATCHANGE
+ * trigger.
+ *
+ * To avoid memory allocations at runtime, the necessary memory is allocated
+ * when the extended error reporting is enabled for a device (by
+ * dasd_eer_probe). There is one sense subsystem status request for each
+ * eer enabled DASD device. The presence of the cqr in device->eer_cqr
+ * indicates that eer is enable for the device. The use of the snss request
+ * is protected by the DASD_FLAG_EER_IN_USE bit. When this flag indicates
+ * that the cqr is currently in use, dasd_eer_snss cannot start a second
+ * request but sets the DASD_FLAG_EER_SNSS flag instead. The callback of
+ * the SNSS request will check the bit and call dasd_eer_snss again.
