Submitting a cmd IO request (usually on the WRITE device, but for IDX
also on the READ device) is currently done with ccw_device_start()
and a manual timeout in the caller.
On timeout, the caller cleans up the related resources (eg. IO buffer).
But 1) the IO might still be active and utilize those resources, and
2) when the IO completes, qeth_irq() will attempt to clean up the
same resources again.
Instead of introducing additional resource locking, switch to
ccw_device_start_timeout() to ensure IO termination after timeout, and
let the IRQ handler alone deal with cleaning up after a request.
This also removes a stray write->irq_pending reset from
clear_ipacmd_list(). The routine doesn't terminate any pending IO on
the WRITE device, so this should be handled properly via IO timeout
in the IRQ handler.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
