Subject: [PATCH 4.4 11/97] s390/qdio: dont merge ERROR output buffers

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 0cf1e05157b9e5530dcc3ca9fec9bf617fc93375 upstream.

On an Output queue, both EMPTY and PENDING buffer states imply that the
buffer is ready for completion-processing by the upper-layer drivers.

So for a non-QEBSM Output queue, get_buf_states() merges mixed
batches of PENDING and EMPTY buffers into one large batch of EMPTY
buffers. The upper-layer driver (ie. qeth) later distuingishes PENDING
from EMPTY by inspecting the slsb_state for
QDIO_OUTBUF_STATE_FLAG_PENDING.

But the merge logic in get_buf_states() contains a bug that causes us to
erronously also merge ERROR buffers into such a batch of EMPTY buffers
(ERROR is 0xaf, EMPTY is 0xa1; so ERROR & EMPTY == EMPTY).
Effectively, most outbound ERROR buffers are currently discarded
silently and processed as if they had succeeded.

Note that this affects _all_ non-QEBSM device types, not just IQD with CQ.

Fix it by explicitly spelling out the exact conditions for merging.

For extracting the "get initial state" part out of the loop, this relies
on the fact that get_buf_states() is never called with a count of 0. The
QEBSM path already strictly requires this, and the two callers with
variable 'count' make sure of it.
