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.

README
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.
