Description IBM Bug Proxy 2011-04-28 13:10:21 UTC
Description : 

linux-2.6.32-s390-qdio_input_error.patch

Description: qdio: reset error states immediately
Symptom:     Connection stall on OSA cards.
Problem:     The qdio hardware may surpress further interrupts as long as a
             SBAL is in the error state. That can lead to unnotified data in
             the SBALs following the error state.
Solution:    Change the SBAL[s] in error state immediately to another program
             owned state so interrupts are again received for further traffic
             on the device.
