Cornelia Huck 690f6a1581 vfio-ccw: rework ssch state handling
The flow for processing ssch requests can be improved by splitting
the BUSY state:

- CP_PROCESSING: We reject any user space requests while we are in
  the process of translating a channel program and submitting it to
  the hardware. Use -EAGAIN to signal user space that it should
  retry the request.
- CP_PENDING: We have successfully submitted a request with ssch and
  are now expecting an interrupt. As we can't handle more than one
  channel program being processed, reject any further requests with
  -EBUSY. A final interrupt will move us out of this state.
  By making this a separate state, we make it possible to issue a
  halt or a clear while we're still waiting for the final interrupt
  for the ssch (in a follow-on patch).

It also makes a lot of sense not to preemptively filter out writes to
the io_region if we're in an incorrect state: the state machine will
handle this correctly.

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.
