Subject: [patch] s390: lost interrupt after chpid vary off/on cycle.

From: Peter Oberparleiter <peter.oberparleiter@...ibm.com>

[S390] lost interrupt after chpid vary off/on cycle.

I/O on a CCW device may stall if a channel path to that device is
logicaly varied off/on. A user I/O interrupt can get misinterpreted
as interrupt for an internal path verification operation due to a
missing check and is therefore never reported to the device driver.

Correct check for pending interruptions before starting path
verification.
