Old code restricted the number of inspected SBALs to
QDIO_MAX_BUFFERS_PER_Q - 1, as otherwise the first_to_check and
first_to_kick cursors could overlap. Subsequent code would then assume that
there was no progress on the queue, when in fact _all_ SBALs on the queue
were ready-to-process.
This limitation no longer applies, so allow the queue-scan code to inspect
all SBALs on the queue. Note that qeth requires an additional patch
("s390/qeth: stop/wake TX queues based on their fill level"), to avoid
potential queue stalls when all 128 SBALs are reported as ready-to-process.

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.
