Fix to return negative error code -ENOMEM from the smcd_alloc_dev()
error handling case instead of 0, as done elsewhere in this function.

With the introduction of TX coalescing, .ndo_start_xmit now potentially
starts the TX completion timer. So only kill the timer _after_ TX has
been disabled.

CONFIG_IOSCHED_DEADLINE was removed with
commit f382fb0bcef4 ("block: remove legacy IO schedulers")

and setting of the scheduler was removed with
commit a5fd8ddce2af ("s390/dasd: remove setting of scheduler from driver").

So get rid of the select.

Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "There were multiple touches outside of drivers/nvdimm/ this round to
  add cross arch compatibility to the devm_memremap_pages() interface,
  enhance numa information for persistent memory ranges, and add a
  zero_page_range() dax operation.

  This cycle I switched from the patchwork api to Konstantin's b4 script
  for collecting tags (from x86, PowerPC, filesystem, and device-mapper
  folks), and everything looks to have gone ok there. This has all
  appeared in -next with no reported issues.

  Summary:

   - Add support for region alignment configuration and enforcement to
     fix compatibility across architectures and PowerPC page size
     configurations.

   - Introduce 'zero_page_range' as a dax operation. This facilitates
     filesystem-dax operation without a block-device.

   - Introduce phys_to_target_node() to facilitate drivers that want to
     know resulting numa node if a given reserved address range was
     onlined.

   - Advertise a persistence-domain for of_pmem and papr_scm. The
     persistence domain indicates where cpu-store cycles need to reach
     in the platform-memory subsystem before the platform will consider
     them power-fail protected.

   - Promote numa_map_to_online_node() to a cross-kernel generic
     facility.

   - Save x86 numa information to allow for node-id lookups for reserved
     memory ranges, deploy that capability for the e820-pmem driver.

   - Pick up some miscellaneous minor fixes, that missed v5.6-final,
     including a some smatch reports in the ioctl path and some unit
     test compilation fixups.

   - Fixup some flexible-array declarations"

<content type='text'>
The common I/O layer delays the ADD uevent for subchannels and
delegates generating this uevent to the individual subchannel
drivers. The vfio-ccw I/O subchannel driver, however, did not
do that, and will not generate an ADD uevent for subchannels
that had not been bound to a different driver (or none at all,
which also triggers the uevent).

Generate the ADD uevent at the end of the probe function if
uevents were still suppressed for the device.

The common I/O layer delays the ADD uevent for subchannels and
delegates generating this uevent to the individual subchannel
drivers. The io_subchannel driver will do so when the associated
ccw_device has been registered -- but unconditionally, so more
ADD uevents will be generated if a subchannel has been unbound
from the io_subchannel driver and later rebound.

To fix this, only generate the ADD event if uevents were still
suppressed for the device.

Polling drivers in a configuration with 1 Input Queue currently keep
their DSCI armed all the way through the poll cycle, until
qdio_start_irq() clears it.

_Any_ intermittent QDIO interrupt delivered to tiqdio_thinint_handler()
will thus cause
1) the 'adapter_int' statistic to be incremented,
2) a call to tiqdio_call_inq_handlers() for this device, and then
3) the 'int_discarded' statistics to be incremented.

This causes overhead &amp; complexity in the IRQ path, along with ambiguity
in the statistics.
On the other hand the device should be in IRQ avoidance mode during a
poll cycle, so there won't be a lot of DSCI ping-pong that this
micro-optimization could prevent.

So align the DSCI handling with what we already do for devices with
multiple Input Queues: clear it right away while processing the IRQ.

For the non-polling path this means that we no longer need to handle
the 1-queue case separately.

This is just prep work for a subsequent patch, no functional change.

For the non-polling path we can pull the code chunk in front of the
for-loop, since it only evaluates to true for a 1-queue configuration.
