Julian Wiedmann 9d6a569a4c s390/qeth: strictly order bridge address events
The current code for bridge address events has two shortcomings in its
control sequence:

1. after disabling address events via PNSO, we don't flush the remaining
   events from the event_wq. So if the feature is re-enabled fast
   enough, stale events could leak over.
2. PNSO and the events' arrival via the READ ccw device are unordered.
   So even if we flushed the workqueue, it's difficult to say whether
   the READ device might produce more events onto the workqueue
   afterwards.

Fix this by
1. explicitly fencing off the events when we no longer care, in the
   READ device's event handler. This ensures that once we flush the
   workqueue, it doesn't get additional address events.
2. Flush the workqueue after disabling the events & fencing them off.
   As the code that triggers the flush will typically hold the sbp_lock,
   we need to rework the worker code to avoid a deadlock here in case
   of a 'notifications-stopped' event. In case of lock contention,
   requeue such an event with a delay. We'll eventually aquire the lock,
   or spot that the feature has been disabled and the event can thus be
   discarded.

This leaves the theoretical race that a stale event could arrive
_after_ we re-enabled ourselves to receive events again. Such an event
would be impossible to distinguish from a 'good' event, nothing we can
do about it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
