Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 57/67] s390/qeth: fix race in used-buffer
 accounting

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

[ Upstream commit a702349a4099cd5a7bab0904689d8e0bf8dcd622 ]

By updating q->used_buffers only _after_ do_QDIO() has completed, there
is a potential race against the buffer's TX completion. In the unlikely
case that the TX completion path wins, qeth_qdio_output_handler() would
decrement the counter before qeth_flush_buffers() even incremented it.
