The skip flag of a CCW offers the possibility of data not being transferred, but is only meaningful for certain commands. Specifically, it is only applicable for a read, read backward, sense, or sense ID CCW and will be ignored for any other command code (SA22-7832-11 page 15-64, and figure 15-30 on page 15-75). (A sense ID is xE4, while a sense is x04 with possible modifiers in the upper four bits. So we will cover the whole "family" of sense CCWs.) For those scenarios, since there is no requirement for the target address to be valid, we should skip the call to vfio_pin_pages() and rely on the IDAL address we have allocated/built for the channel program. The fact that the individual IDAWs within the IDAL are invalid is fine, since they aren't actually checked in these cases. Set pa_nr to zero when skipping the pfn_array_pin() call, since it is defined as the number of pages pinned and is used to determine whether to call vfio_unpin_pages() upon cleanup. The pfn_array_pin() routine returns the number of pages that were pinned, but now might be skipped for some CCWs. Thus we need to calculate the expected number of pages ourselves such that we are guaranteed to allocate a reasonable number of IDAWs, which will provide a valid address in CCW.CDA regardless of whether the IDAWs are filled in with pinned/translated addresses or not.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
