crypto/nx842: Ignore queue overflow informative error
NX842 coprocessor sets bit 3 if queue is overflow. It is just for information to the user. So the driver prints this informative message and ignores it.

What queue, and what happens when the queue overflows? It seems like *something* would need to be done, somewhere, by someone? I realise that as a piece of IBM hardware this is probably an incredibly optimistic question, but is this behaviour documented publically anywhere?

When I worked there, it unfortunately wasn't public and there was no future plan to make it public, but things might have changed since I left. Maybe it will be included in future openpower documentation...? > >> --- a/drivers/crypto/nx/nx-842-powernv.c >> +++ b/drivers/crypto/nx/nx-842-powernv.c >> @@ -442,6 +442,15 @@ static int nx842_powernv_function(const unsigned char >> *in, unsigned int inlen, >>(unsigned int)ccw, >>(unsigned int)be32_to_cpu(crb->ccw)); >> >> + /* >> + * NX842 coprocessor uses 3rd bit to report queue overflow which is >> + * not an error, just for information to user.

This bit is defined in icswx RFC. Hence I think we should define this in icswx.h. "Bit 3 of CR0 is undefined or set from XERSO." Please ignore this patch. Talking to HW team, whenever gets floating point overflow from FPU, XER[S0] will be set and it stays until other FPU operation is executed. It is typical behaviour on powerpc. ixswx RFC says coprocessor can set this XER[S0] to bit 3 and NX is doing this. I think it should have ignored this bit. "An implementation is permitted to set bit 3 of CR0 from XERSO." So,the issue is not queue overflow problem, but NX is copying XER[S0] which is no use and nothing to do with compression. We need to ignore this bit since it can be set with other valuable return status. I will repost new patch with the proper description.
