Harald Freudenberger 6eddae9a8a zcrypt: Support new config state with lszcrypt and chzcrypt
lszcrypt now shows a card/queue which is in 'deconfigured' state as
'deconfig' in the STATE column (verbose and non verbose mode).

chzcrypt became two new options: --config-on and --config-off to
switch one or more card devices to 'configured' or 'deconfigured'
state.

Both applications are able to handle older kernels which do now
provide the config sysfs attribute required for this new feature.

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B chzcrypt
command is used to configure cryptographic devices managed by zcrypt and
modify zcrypt's AP bus attributes.
Attributes may vary depending on the kernel
version.
.B chzcrypt
requires that the sysfs filesystem is mounted.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 8
.B -e, --enable
Set the given cryptographic device(s) online.
.TP 8
.B -d, --disable
Set the given cryptographic device(s) offline.
.TP 8
.B -a, --all
Set all available cryptographic device(s) online or offline.
.TP 8
.B --config-on
Set the given cryptographic card device(s) config on ('configured').
.TP 8
.B --config-off
Set the given cryptographic card device(s) config off ('deconfigured').
.TP 8
.B <device id>
Specifies a cryptographic device which will be set either online or
offline or configured on or off. For online and offline the device can
either be a card device or a queue device. A queue device can only get
switched online when the providing card is online.
.br
For config on/off the device needs to be a card device. A card or
queue device cannot get switched online if the card is in deconfigured
state.
.br
Please note that the card device and queue device representation are both
in hexadecimal notation.
.TP 8
.B -p, --poll-thread-enable
Enable zcrypt's poll thread.
.TP 8
.B -n, --poll-thread-disable
Disable zcrypt's poll thread.
.TP 8
.BI "-c, --config-time" " <timeout>"
Set configuration timer for re-scanning the AP bus to
.I <timeout>
seconds.
.TP 8
.BI "-t, --poll-timeout" " <poll_timeout>"
Set poll timer to run poll tasklet all
.I <poll_timeout>
nanoseconds.
.TP 8
.BI "-q, --default-domain" " <domain>"
Set the new default domain of the AP bus to <domain>.
The number of available domains can be retrieved with the lszcrypt
command ('-d' option).
.TP 8
.B -V, --verbose
Print verbose messages.
.TP 8
.B -h, --help
Print help text and exit.
.TP 8
.B -v, --version
Print version information and exit.
.SH EXAMPLES
.TP
.B chzcrypt -e 0 1 12
Will set the cryptographic card devices 0, 1 and 12 online.
.TP
.B chzcrypt -e 10.0038
Will set the cryptographic device '10.0038' respectively card id 16
(0x10) with domain 56 (0x38) online.
.TP
.B chzcrypt -d -a
Will set all available cryptographic devices offline.
.TP
.B chzcrypt --config-on -a -V
Set all available crypto cards to config on, be verbose.
.TP
.B chzcrypt -V --config-off card01 card03
Switch the two crypto cards 1 and 3 to deconfigured, be verbose.
.TP
.B chzcrypt -c 60 -n
Will set configuration timer for re-scanning the AP bus to 60 seconds and
disable zcrypt's poll thread.
.TP
.B chzcrypt -q 67
Will set the default domain to 67.
.SH NOTES
Support for crypto cards to get switched config on or off requires a
Linux kernel supporting this. If the required sysfs attribute file
does not exist, it is assumed there is an older kernel running and
chzcrypt exits with an appropriate message. Even more config on/off
may require support from a hypervisor like KVM or zVM and may fail if
the Linux kernel is unable to perform the SCLP command. Check syslog
on failure.
