[PATCH net 1/1] s390/ism: clear dmbe_mask bit before SMC IRQ handling

From: Ursula Braun <hidden>

Subsystem: networking drivers, s390 architecture, s390 network drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Heiko Carstens, Vasily Gorbik, Alexander Gordeev, Alexandra Winter, Aswin Karuvally, Linus Torvalds

SMC-D stress workload showed connection stalls. Since the firmware
decides to skip raising an interrupt if the SBA DMBE mask bit is
still set, this SBA DMBE mask bit should be cleared before the
IRQ handling in the SMC code runs. Otherwise there are small windows
possible with missing interrupts for incoming data.
SMC-D currently does not care about the old value of the SBA DMBE
mask.
