to distribute the connections equally over all enabled TX queues.

The RX buffer pool is allocated in qeth_alloc_qdio_queues().
A subsequent pool resizing is then handled in a very simple way:
first free the current pool, then allocate a new pool of the requested
size.
There's two ways where this can go wrong:
1. if the resize action happens _before_ the initial pool was allocated,
then a subsequent initialization will call qeth_alloc_qdio_queues()
and fill the pool with a second(!) set of pages. We consume twice the
planned amount of memory.
This is easy to fix - just skip the resizing if the queues haven't
been allocated yet.
2. if the initial pool was created by qeth_alloc_qdio_queues() but a
subsequent resizing fails, then the device has no(!) RX buffer pool.
The next initialization will _not_ call qeth_alloc_qdio_queues(), and
attempting to back the RX buffers with pages in
qeth_init_qdio_queues() will fail.
Not very difficult to fix either - instead of re-allocating the whole
pool, just allocate/free as many entries to match the desired size.

In the old code this was needed so that qeth_get_priority_queue() gets
the queue selection right. But with proper multiqueue support we already
reduced dev->real_num_tx_queues to 1, and so the stack puts all traffic

Once the call to qdio_establish() has completed, qdio is free to deliver
data IRQs to the device driver's IRQ poll handler.
For qeth (the only qdio driver that currently uses IRQ polling) this is
problematic, since the IRQs can arrive before its NAPI instance is
even registered. Calling napi_schedule() from qeth_qdio_start_poll()
then crashes in various nasty ways.
Until recently qeth checked for IFF_UP to drop such early interrupts,
but that's fragile as well since it doesn't enforce any ordering.
Fix this properly by bringing up the qdio device in IRQS_DISABLED mode,
and have the driver explicitly opt-in to receive data IRQs.
qeth does so from qeth_open(), which kick-starts a NAPI poll and then
calls qdio_start_irq() from qeth_poll().
Also add a matching qdio_stop_irq() in qeth_stop() to switch the qdio
dataplane back into a disabled state.

I stumbled over an old OSA model that claims to support DIAG_ASSIST,
but then rejects the cmd to query its DIAG capabilities.
In the old code this was ok, as the returned raw error code was > 0.
Now that we translate the raw codes to errnos, the "rc < 0" causes us
to fail the initialization of the device.
The fix is trivial: don't bail out when the DIAG query fails. Such an
error is not critical, we can still use the device (with a slightly

qeth_l?_set_online() goes through a number of initialization steps, and
on any error uses qeth_l?_stop_card() to tear down the residual state.
The first initialization step is qeth_core_hardsetup_card(). When this
fails after having established a QDIO context on the device
(ie. somewhere after qeth_mpc_initialize()), qeth_l?_stop_card() doesn't
shut down this QDIO context again (since the card state hasn't
progressed from DOWN at this stage).
Even worse, we then call qdio_free() as final teardown step to free the
QDIO data structures - while some of them are still hooked into wider
QDIO infrastructure such as the IRQ list. This is inevitably followed by
use-after-frees and other nastyness.
Fix this by unconditionally calling qeth_qdio_clear_card() to shut down
the QDIO context, and also to halt/clear any pending activity on the
various IO channels.
Remove the naive attempt at handling the teardown in
qeth_mpc_initialize(), it clearly doesn't suffice and we're handling it
properly now in the wider teardown code.

The cio layer's intparm logic does not align itself well with how qeth
manages cmd IOs. When an active IO gets terminated via halt/clear, the
corresponding IRQ's intparm does not reflect the cmd buffer but rather
the intparm that was passed to ccw_device_halt() / ccw_device_clear().
This behaviour was recently clarified in
commit b91d9e67e5 ("s390/cio: fix intparm documentation").
As a result, qeth_irq() currently doesn't cancel a cmd that was
terminated via halt/clear. This primarily causes us to leak
card->read_cmd after the qeth device is removed, since our IO path still
holds a refcount for this cmd.
For qeth this means that we need to keep track of which IO is pending on
a device ('active_cmd'), and use this as the intparm when calling
halt/clear. Otherwise qeth_irq() can't match the subsequent IRQ to its
cmd buffer.
Since we now keep track of the _expected_ intparm, we can also detect
any mismatch; this would constitute a bug somewhere in the lower layers.
In this case cancel the active cmd - we effectively "lost" the IRQ and
should not expect any further notification for this IO.

qeth_core_free_card() is meant to be the counterpart of

to free the QDIO queues.
This gets messy when qeth_core_probe_device() fails during
qeth_add_dbf_entry(). At this point the card->qdio.state is not initialized
yet, so qeth_free_qdio_queues() ends up operating on uninitialized data.
Luckily for now, the whole qeth_card struct is zero-allocated and the value
of the QETH_QDIO_UNINITIALIZED enum is 0 as well. So there's no real impact
from this bug at the moment, it's just really fragile.

packet loss.
