Subject: [162/244] [S390] qdio: clear shared DSCI before scheduling the queue handler

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jan Glauber <jang@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit b02f0c2ea25781e0f94b4fc8f6f85582057857b3 upstream.

The following race can occur with qdio devices that use the shared device
state change indicator:

Device (Shared DSCI)    CPU0                            CPU1
===============================================================================

1. DSCI 0 => 1,
   INT pending
                        2. Thinint handler
                        * si_used = 1
                        * Inbound tasklet_schedule
                        * DSCI 1 => 0

3. DSCI 0 => 1,
   INT pending

                                                        4. Thinint handler
                                                        * si_used = 1
                                                        * Inbound tasklet_schedu
le
                                                           => NOP

                        5. Inbound tasklet run

6. DSCI = 1,
   INT surpressed

                                                        7. DSCI 1 => 0

The race would lead to a stall where new data in the input queue is
not recognized so the device stops working in case of no further traffic.

Fix the race by resetting the DSCI before scheduling the inbound tasklet
so the device generates an interrupt if new data arrives in the above
scenario in step 6.
