Summary:        qeth: Full-blown TCP Segmentation Offload
Description:    As of now, qeth only supports TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO)
                for IPv4 in Layer3 devices. This feature extends the existing
                support to IPv6, and adds support for TSO in both IP variants
                for Layer2.

                To cleanly pull in all the necessary changes to the transmit
                code, update the qeth driver to the current 4.20 level.


Upstream-Description:

             s390/qeth: invoke softirqs after napi_schedule()

             Calling napi_schedule() from process context does not ensure that the
             NET_RX softirq is run in a timely fashion. So trigger it manually.

             This is no big issue with current code. A call to ndo_open() is usually
             followed by a ndo_set_rx_mode() call, and for qeth this contains a
             spin_unlock_bh(). Except for OSN, where qeth_l2_set_rx_mode() bails out
             early.
             Nevertheless it's best to not depend on this behaviour, and just fix
             the issue at its source like all other drivers do. For instance see
             commit 83a0c6e58901 ("i40e: Invoke softirqs after napi_reschedule").

             Fixes: a1c3ed4c9ca0 ("qeth: NAPI support for l2 and l3 discipline")
