A copy relation that is configured on the storage server side needs to be enabled separately in the device driver. A sysfs interface is created that allows userspace tooling to control such setup. The following sysfs entries are added to store and read copy relation information: copy_pair - Add/Delete a copy pair relation to the DASD device driver - Query all previously added copy pair relations copy_role - Query the copy pair role of the device To add a copy pair to the DASD device driver it has to be specified through the sysfs attribute copy_pair. Only one secondary device can be specified at a time together with the primary device. Both, secondary and primary can be used equally to define the copy pair. The secondary devices have to be offline when adding the copy relation. The primary device needs to be specified first followed by the comma separated secondary device. Read from the copy_pair attribute to get the current setup and write "clear" to the attribute to delete any existing setup. Example: $ echo 0.0.9700,0.0.9740 > /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.9700/copy_pair $ cat /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.9700/copy_pair 0.0.9700,0.0.9740 During device online processing the required data will be read from the storage server and the information will be compared to the setup requested through the copy_pair attribute. The registration of the primary and secondary device will be handled accordingly. A blockdevice is only allocated for copy relation primary devices. To query the copy role of a device read from the copy_role sysfs attribute. Possible values are primary, secondary, and none. Example: $ cat /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.9700/copy_role primary Signed-off-by: Stefan Haberland <sth@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Hoeppner <hoeppner@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220920192616.808070-4-sth@linux.ibm.comSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
