Title:
  Ubuntu 16.04.6 - Shared CEX7C cards defined in z/VM guest not
  established by zcrypt device driver

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:

Bug description:
  System: IBM Z15 z/VM with shared CEX7C adapters
  OS:  Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS ( 4.4.0-165-generic kernel ) with latest updates
  Shared CEX7C adapters are not displayed on Ubuntu even though APAR 66266 had 
been installed onto the unterlying z/VM system.

  
  Details
  =======
  Defined shared CEX7C CCA adapters to provide cryptographic accelerators based 
on CCA cards to a z/VM guest system running Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS.

  The adapters display all right under vm or when running vmcp commands
  under Linux.

  lszcrypt -VVV does not display any adapter.

  We observed that zcrypt_cex4 was not automatically loaded via
  dependency by modprobe ap. Explicitly loading by modprobe zcrypt_cex4
  did not change card availability.

  Please investigate.

  Thanks.

  -Attach sysctl -a output output to the bug.

  lszcrypt returns with

  # lszcrypt -VVV ; echo RC=$?
  RC=0

  After investigating here a little ...
  Ubuntu 16.04 has only toleration support for CEX6 and no support for CEX7.

  
  Here is a patch which maps cex7 cards to cex5 cards.
  Have a look into - it is just a 2 line code change which
  extends the toleration patch for cex6 (mapped to cex5)
  by the cex7 card - also mapped to cex5.

  Code compiles and I've tested the kernel on a z15 with
  lots of cex6 and cex7 cards - works fine.
